GOING:

Race 7 1000m

Track: AW      

Expecting a strong gallop with Nishiken Cabal and Atonimo Sakinimo taking up the running over Unicorn Whale. NISHIKEN CABAL (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when sixth over 1000m at this track. Drawn to go forward. Leading contender. ATONIMO SAKINIMO (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was fifth over 1000m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes and with added fitness he is right in contention. SAKURA KINGLY (12) is a distance specialist who missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1200m at this track, finishing ninth. Has a good record at this course and distance and should be right in contention. UNICORN WHALE (11) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.8 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
