GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Strong pace from Daimei Otohime, Mind My Words and Lot Emperor, with Kaimana Eleele and Smile Forest on their heels. LOT EMPEROR (9) scored last start by 3 lengths at this track over 1400m. Has a strong record this course, scoring at three of six starts. One of the major players. KAIMANA ELEELE (8) finished 2.25 lengths behind the winner in third over 1300m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and shapes as a key contender. DAIMEI OTOHIME (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start after being prominent at the bend over 1300m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win here the start prior. In the mix. SMILE FOREST (7) drew wide last time and was safely held when fifth over this track and trip. Should park just off the speed and has solid claims on best form.
