GOING:

Race 10 1750m

Track:      

Good pace with Pawa Poke Primero, Dream Sunday and Cosmo Viola matching motors. HATENABITO (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 20 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1750m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PAWA POKE PRIMERO (4) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Tsubasa Kamo who has six wins when partnering stays on. Sure to run well. SUPER FLEUR (3) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1300m at this track. Honest record at the journey with top-three finishes at all three starts, including a win. One of the main contenders. COSMO VIOLA (11) was below her best last start when ninth over 1750m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Deserves respect on best figures.
