GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Slick tempo with Onimaru to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SCHNELL KAGA (5) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1800m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. ONIMARU (2) four-year-old entire with multiple wins at this journey. Good effort but found a couple better last time out over 1400m at this track. Terrific chance in a suitable contest. SKY OJI (8) improved last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. KUROTCHI (1) missed the frame last start over 1900m at this track when seventh. Nicely placed to find some form.

At the latest run 7th of 9 at this track on June 12 over 1900m, 8 len behind A Shin Gaudi with 57kg at $173.80. The run before that failed to make an impression; 7th of 10 at this track on May 28 over 1400m, 7 len behind Kotoshiro carrying 58kg at $65.60. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at this track June 12 over 1800m defeating Lonely Planet carrying 57kg at $2.40. The race before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at this track on May 29 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Win Aube carrying 57kg at $2.80. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
