GOING:

Maiden Race 2600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Potechi and Justin Arrow up front, pressured by Rey De La Tierra and Yamanin Historia. YAMANIN HISTORIA (14) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 2600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. SHINE FREELY (4) was doing his best work late last start to get up for second over 2000m at this track. Best form puts him right in this. POTECHI (11) ran below expectations last time at Kokura, finishing 12th and beaten 6 lengths starting at $6.80. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KING'S TRUE (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2600m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Capable of featuring prominently.
