GOING:

Race 4 1600m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Koei Brave and Petal Bijou taking up the running over Cocoli Hakutaku. COCOLI HAKUTAKU (2) is close to breaking through after adding to a string of placings with a third last start over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Best figures measure up. Could deliver here. BANDONEON (3) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Aided by a good draw. Major player. KOEI BRAVE (8) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1400m in April last year. Has had a long time off but worth keeping safe. PETAL BIJOU (6) got the prize two runs ago and was solid again last time out when fourth. One of the hopes.
