GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Looks to be plenty of pace with Sokko Tarumaka and Matsurida Masurao battling for the lead. SOKKO TARUMAKA (5) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished third over 1600m at this track at the latest appearance a month ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. KINSEN O (10) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 1400m at this track five weeks ago, getting home by one length. Well placed and can score again. MEISHO SHIROGANE (6) produced a reasonable effort when fourth last start here after a win at this track the start prior. Sure to run well. DEAR THEORY (1) improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m here. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
