GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Nihonpiro Port leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. NIHONPIRO CLIFF (5) sat on the pace last time and recorded the second minor placing from as many runs this prep, finishing 1.5 lengths back in second over 1400m at this track. Among the leading chances. NIHONPIRO PORT (1) settled well back last start and did a sound job to finish fifth over 1600m at this track. Has the talent to produce a better result. CURREN HATHAWAY (7) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Capable of featuring prominently. SAKAJIRO RAINBOW (10) next best.
