GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Looks a decent tempo with Full Metal Lady, Cocoli Hakutaku and Cuenca leading the charge. COCOLI HAKUTAKU (3) filled yet another minor placing last time when 0.8 lengths adrift in third over 1300m at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. BANDONEON (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with strong prospects. SANONO AMERICAN (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to bounce back. FULL METAL LADY (4) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 38 lengths into eighth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
