GOING:

Race 5 1600m

Track:      

Looks a decent tempo with Sokko Tarumaka, Daita Justice and Olive Branch leading the charge. SOKKO TARUMAKA (7) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from six outings. Big chance once again. OLIVE BRANCH (4) bounced back last start and got the job done by 3 lengths as public elect over 1600m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. COASTAL TERRACE (5) finished third just seven days ago over 1400m at this track. On the quick back-up over more ground. Strong run last time and is a leading contender. TROLLTUNGA (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when third over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
