GOING: G

Race 5 800m

Track: GOOD     True  

Pace looks strong with Siena Wave pressing on from an outside draw, joining I Am Kachimasho. SIENA WAVE (11) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a break last start. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. PINK NO BARA (1) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 850m at Mizusawa when she was in the firing line all the way. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. KICKS (8) was safely held when fourth last time out over 800m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. GOOFED LYPHARD (7) is back at the races for the first time since September 23. Scored over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
