GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Oken Duke should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. OKEN DUKE (10) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1500m at this track, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Winning rider Makoto Okabe retains the mount. Steps up a level but he is good enough to score again. ARC PREMIER (7) drifted back from a good draw last time then wound up strongly to score a 1.5 lengths win over 1500m at this track. Should be in the finish again. CINNAMON DAISY (5) was a strong winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by one length to make it four on end. Leading player again. JAKO MUSUBI (8) scored last start at this track to make it three wins from six starts this campaign. Should park just off the speed. Not to be discounted.
