GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Pace strong with Simply The Best and Laplace leading with Metus nearby. LAPLACE (7) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing third over 1300m at this track. Racing well and could be hard to beat in this suitable race. KIZOKU (6) missed the frame last time when fourth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Gets his chance. KOEI BAKUSHIN (11) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1300m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. VIVA MOON (2) produced a better run last start when fifth over 1300m at this track. No surprise to see him in contention.
