GOING:

Race 6 1600m

Track:      

Moderate tempo expected with Marukei Rock likely to find the front over Fours Men and Sasuke Bella. FOURS MEN (6) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 1400m at this track. Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. REFLE LA LA (2) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1400m at this track at her latest appearance. Should run well. PICO DE ORIZABA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. MARUKEI ROCK (5) lines up for the first time since December 9. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1000m at Morioka Dirt. Keep safe.
