GOING: G

Race 7 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Slick pace with Insider finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. BEST OF KELLY (8) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SPINNAKER (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 46 lengths away in 12th over 1500m at Funabashi. Won't find this as tough so he is set to turn things around. REWARD MERLIN (2) gave a bold sight at the latest appearance over 1500m at Funabashi but dropped out to finish eighth. Should settle handy in the run. Winning claims on best figures. CASTLE HEART (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 4 lengths, over 1500m at Funabashi. Will be doing her best work late.
