GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Cosmo Viola, Knock On Wood and Derma Okuridashi to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. COSMO VIOLA (6) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when second. Shinsuke Ishikawa who has scored on her seven times retains the mount. Fitter and looks sure to play a big role. DERMA OKURIDASHI (9) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Manato Hida gets the best out of this five-year-old entire. Well placed and can repeat the dose. SUN PLUMERIA (7) missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, finishing fifth. In the mix. KNOCK ON WOOD (10) is struggling for a win and proving costly lately but does go well this venue. Worth including again.
