GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Pawa Poke Primero to take charge ahead of Satono Bonds at a solid tempo. PAWA POKE PRIMERO (11) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with seven wins and three minor placings from 15 runs. Can measure up again. KAIMANA ELEELE (5) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Has been in the money five times over this course and distance. Leading contender. FLOWER COMPANY (2) settled well back last time out, then found the line strongly to finish 5.5 lengths away in fourth over 1300m at this track. Among the chances, and will be tough to stop. WINNING THE SOUL (1) is back at the races for the first time since October 19. Worth noting, she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1300m at this track. Has to be respected, especially if the money comes for her.
