GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Good pace from Sol Estrella, Makoto Daitoren and Princess Knight. PRINCESS KNIGHT (9) broke through for a win last start when second up from a spell, scoring by half a length over 1400m at this track. Has scope for improvement and looks the testing material. MAKOTO DAITOREN (8) started at $3.40 last time but could only manage fifth at this track over 1400m. Change of jockey to Masatoshi Yamamoto who has a strong record when aboard, including five wins. Likely to feature. TSURUMARU BELL (3) finished second last start over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. COMBAT COCO (5) was fourth in a 1400m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
