GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Satono Kairos should find the front with Shibanosutomukitto and Pellestrina on his heels. SATONO KAIROS (6) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. SHIBANOSUTOMUKITTO (7) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at Himeji two starts back then got the job done by 1.75 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Toyokazu Tano scored on him last time and retains the ride. It doesn't get any easier but on current form he is capable of another big performance. NORI WOOD TAIL (3) scored at this track last time out with 3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has a good record at this course and distance, including four wins. Osamu Shimohara who has scored on her four times retains the mount. Certainly one to consider. TASMAN HIGHWAY (5) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders.
