GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Calling Me and Rikea Black possess good early speed. RIKEA BLACK (5) showed good early pace over 1300m at this track when resuming last time and kept going to score by half a length. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NAMURA CREPE (1) is a 10-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at this track over 1400m last time out after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. CHUO HAHN (9) improved last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CALLING ME (4) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time out, leading for home before finding one better over 1400m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
