GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Strong pace from Sanei Brave and Kamino Kagayaki matching motors with Sanei Wing close at hand. SATONO MISCHIEF (9) turned in a fine effort to win by a head at this track and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SANEI WING (10) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1400m, beaten 1.5 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Will appreciate the longer journey now. GEMPACHI PRIDE (12) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1600m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. SANEI BRAVE (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another bold effort.
