GOING:

Race 1 1700m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with Cool Kagura and Mana Sky leading the charge. MINO BELL (11) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. COOL KAGURA (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1700m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. MANA SKY (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1700m at this track when beaten 2.5 lengths. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. One of the main contenders. OVER THE TROUBLE (5) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1600m at Ohi last time out. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
