GOING:

Race 5 1000m

Track:      

Expecting Sekitei Vivi to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. OHAMACHAN (1) put the writing on the wall last start and was beaten just a neck into second over 1000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. RIPE TRAUM (10) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a second at this track over 1000m when he was beaten half a length. Great chance to finally return to the winners' circle. BENINO GENERAL (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SEKITEI VIVI (2) is a seven-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 7 lengths when seventh over 1000m at this track. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
