GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Kawakita Hoku Lea should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. KAWAKITA HOKU LEA (10) was prominent from the outset when third over 1400m at this track last time out. Has a strong record here at this journey. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. NISHINO BENITOITE (3) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish tenth over the same trip at this track. Better placed and can atone. HO O NOUVEAU (6) improved last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at this track. Can get home into the money again. HANG TIME (1) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and hard to fault if at his best.
