GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by O K Thunder. JOLLY MEMORY (10) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Likely to feature. O K THUNDER (4) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish second over 1500m at Nagoya. Will take advantage of the good draw and has the ability to take this out. SERA STRAHL (9) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when first-up last start over 1400m at this track. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. In the mix. DAYLIGHT (8) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing seventh over 1600m. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Can contest.
