GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Naimama and Tamamo Ittosei kicking up to hold out the next wave. NAIMAMA (7) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1600m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. MIDNIGHT BIRD (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1300m at this track when beaten 5 lengths. Hard to beat once again. KURINO ORION (8) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1300m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. BAI YULAN (3) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1300m at this track. Has a good record at this journey with three wins from eight starts. Hard to knock.
