GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Onigiri leading Combat Momohime. MAPLE DEEP (11) was out of the money first-up but has progressed nicely since, last start finishing third at this track over 1400m. Greta chance to break through. ONIGIRI (5) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was eighth over 820m at this track. Strips fitter and can find the winners' list. FULL LIMIT (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. COMBAT MOMOHIME (1) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage fifth last start over 1400m at this track. Sits handy in the run. Likely improver.
