GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

A Shin Karnabon should find the front with Passion Prima and Hatsunagi on his heels. A SHIN KARNABON (3) is fresh from a spell of a year and did hit the frame when last resuming at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m. In a different yard now. Well-placed and looks ready to fire. PASSION PRIMA (10) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent despite the wide draw. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and is a key runner. HATSUNAGI (7) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish ninth over 1400m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time. HIGH LIFE (9) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track, clocking in 2 lengths from the winner. Everything points to a big run.
