GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Dotto Get leading the way. HOSUMANI EN (1) bounced back last start and scored by 0.8 lengths as favourite over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PIN ZORO (10) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at Kochi. Has a wide gate to overcome but he is definitely worth including. AILE DENON (6) went forward from the low draw last time before fading to finish seventh over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three claims. CLEAN SLATE (4) is coming off a last-start sixth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Generally goes well here with a win and two minor placings from five tries. A bold showing is expected.
