GOING:

Race 6 2000m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Fractal, Hakuai Demain and Kashino Amulet vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. SAKIDORITOKKEN (7) was a most impressive winner last time over 1800m at this track, scoring by 4 lengths. Has a strong record here, including eight wins. Among the leading chances. T M PYRO DAN (10) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 1800m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with four wins and two minor placings from eight runs. Top chance again. FRACTAL (5) finished third last start over 1300m at this track following a run of four wins on end. Hard to knock and is a winning chance. KASHINO AMULET (12) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
