GOING: G

Race 10 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Genuine pace with Dawn Express taking up the running ahead of Pawa Poke Wing and Wind In Bio. JUN FUKARI (7) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track with success over 1200m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another bold race. GRUAGACH (5) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.5 lengths of the winner in second last start over 1200m at this track. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and seven minor placings from 10 runs. Among the leading chances. ODYSSEY (1) got home by 2 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track. Has six wins here. Can go on with it. PAWA POKE WING (9) won at this track and distance at his last outing five months ago. One to consider.
