GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo is on the cards with Hamburg Hammer and Satono Roi pushing for the lead ahead of Piroko Giga Max and Sand Cruiser. PIROKO GIGA MAX (7) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role again. SATONO ROI (8) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track eight months ago. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Sure to be in the finish. HAMBURG HAMMER (5) was in the money two starts back but couldn't back it up last time when eighth at this track over 1400m. Best figures measure up and can feature. KURINO SUNSHINE (6) was ninth over 1400m at this track last time out. Nicely placed to find some form.
