GOING: S

Race 7 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Expecting Kafuji Taurus to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. BIG PHU KAO (3) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by half a length at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Finds another suitable race and can do it again. NADENADE (10) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Is a winner at this circuit. Should be in the finish. KITANO MARTINI (2) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1200m at this track four months ago. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. One of the main contenders. KAFUJI TAURUS (8) resumes in a similar race to his last run eight months ago when eighth, beaten 7 lengths. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on five occasions from seven runs. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
