GOING: S

Race 4 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Plenty of speed from Mr John and Kagayaki Top. BEAN SMOKE MOCHA (10) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2.5 lengths win at this track over 1200m. In great form and is well-placed to feature again. MR JOHN (7) went forward when resuming last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for third, beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ADHARA'S PRAYER (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1200m. Expected to run well again. AFRO RAIDEL (6) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 1600m at this track, beaten 23 lengths. In contention this time.
