GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Pasion Blond leading the way. HOKKO HANAMICHI (7) lines up for the first time since December 28. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at this track. Has ability and should be right in the finish. IN ORBIT (1) met with solid support last start over 1300m at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run and can take this out. RINNO LEGEND (11) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1300m at this track. Among the leading chances. PASION BLOND (8) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when seventh and beaten 9 lengths over 1300m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Don't underestimate.
