GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Ocea Hartman to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. OCEA HARTMAN (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second when resuming last time out over 1600m at this track. Should settle handy in the run. Rates a top chance. ZENIT (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth starting at $2.30. Best form stacks up nicely and deserves another chance. MOON BLUE (2) improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. AKINO SMART (9) has switched yards since finishing ninth two months ago over 1400m at Kawasaki. Look for a bold run.
