GOING: G

Race 7 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Solid pace from Harmony Joey and K T Yui fending off pressure from other on-pacers engaged. SIESTA KEY (1) finished third two runs back at Kawasaki then improved last time out to score dominantly as favourite over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SUMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMO (5) improved last start to finish third after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. FEMININE LOOK (7) last raced just five days ago when seventh over 1500m at Kawasaki. Likely improver with top-three prospects. HARMONY JOEY (10) ran well below his best last time at Funabashi. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Not to be discounted.
