GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Derma Sotokomata or Ebenholz to lead the small field. EBENHOLZ (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m after being prominent from the outset. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Sure to run well. BEST TANGO (5) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when seventh over this journey at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. DERMA SOTOKOMATA (2) ran a bold race over this journey last time, leading for much of the way before fading out of it late to finish 2.5 lengths away in fourth at this track. Among the main hopes. KICHI KING (4) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish fourth at this track over 1400m. Will drift back but wind up late. Must be respected.
