GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with Mr Yossha and Ho O Pursuit leading the charge. REAL KAISER (4) made it six minor placings in a row last start when third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. HO O PURSUIT (2) continued the good recent form when he finished just half a length away in second last time out over 1400m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. NIHONPIRO DOVER (1) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth over 1400m at this track. Can give this a shake. MR YOSSHA (6) was in the money two starts back at this track then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1400m at this track. Sits handy in the run. Can sneak into the finish.
