GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Knock On Wood leading the way. SATONO REGALIA (2) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on March 30 over 1300m when he got home by half a length. Has plenty of upside and is a winning chance again. KNOCK ON WOOD (11) had been in top form, scoring three consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 1400m at this track. Can return to his winning form. SMILE VIVANT (6) came from well back on cornering and hit the line strongly to score over 1300m at this track last time out. Takuto Demizu who has scored on her two times retains the mount. One of the main contenders. NOTHING ON YOU (9) was on a winning run of two races but last time out finished second over 1400m at this track. Solid claims.
