GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Ric Torachan has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. MINOKOKU STARK (10) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1400m at this track to make it two in succession. Reunites with Makoto Okabe who has two wins from five rides. Should be in the finish. MEGA FLASH (7) settled well back last start when finishing sixth over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. PRETTY MEMORY (1) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.2 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. MEISHO CENTRE (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
