GOING: G

Race 12 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Solid pace with Nishiken Bob finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. NISHIKEN BOB (5) has strong overall form with 19 wins on the board. Continued the positive trend last start when a winner by 3 lengths over 1800m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. KEIAI PURPLE (3) was quickly into stride over 2600m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 3 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race so he is likely to play a big role. VALENTINE CAKE (1) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1800m here last time. Warrants plenty of respect. SANYO SFIDA (4) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 30 lengths away in 11th over 2000m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
