GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Run Run Martin leading Koki. RUN RUN MARTIN (1) started favourite but disappointed backers last time when 4 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1300m at this track. Had been going very well prior with a string of top-two finishes. Has the pace to settle in the leading division from this draw. Expecting a bold showing. TARO SHUN (7) turned in a solid performance when fourth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Contender. KOKI (2) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Can feature again. MARRON DREAM (5) is next best off a placing two back.
