GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Knock On Wood and B B Monolog taking up the running over Satono Regalia. SATONO REGALIA (1) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being in contention on the bend over 1400m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. That followed back-to-back wins prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. KNOCK ON WOOD (2) has been in great form, winning three on end before back-to-back placings, the latest when beaten 1.75 lengths into third over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Likely improver with strong prospects. B B MONOLOG (9) started at $3.10 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1300m. Winning rider Takuto Demizu stays aboard. Should be involved in the finish. MOSCOVIUM (5) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a head over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 11 at this track on April 12 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Popping Berry carrying 55kg at $3.60. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track March 30 over 1300m defeating Derma Okuridashi with 55kg at $1.50. Drawn to get the gun run out of the inside draw.
