GOING: G

Race 12 2200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Presto Emma and Major Quality to take up the running at a strong tempo. MAXIMUM POWER (7) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 2000m at Ohi. Ready to go one better. PEPTIDE MOGAMI (2) was prominent through the early and middle stages last time out before fading to finish 11th over 2400m at Tokyo. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well in this easier assignment. PRESTO EMMA (10) improved last time out to score by 4 lengths over 1800m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on current form she is good enough to take this out. TECHNO DIAMOND (3) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race.
