GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Nong Han leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. MOON STAR (12) stuck on well last start to finish second over 900m at this track after showing good early speed. Likely improver with strong prospects. A SHIN HEMATITE (11) is well and truly overdue. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NONG HAN (8) struggled to threaten last start but cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. KONOHANASAKUYAHIME (1) just missed the frame last start in fourth over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
