GOING:

Race 6 1900m

Track:      

Good pace with Preflop All In, Goodhumour and Namura Boss matching motors. PREFLOP ALL IN (3) went fast early and went on to score by half a length last time out over 1600m at this track. Will take advantage of the good draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. ESPOIR GUY (4) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing one length from the winner in second last time over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Takuya Okamura stays aboard. Should be hard to stop. ROCKY THUNDER (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1600m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. EXCELLENT TIME (8) has registered five minor placings from seven runs this preparation. Produced another good effort at his most recent run when second over 1400m at this track. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
