GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Lot Emperor should find the front with Still The One and Palm Beach on his heels. STILL THE ONE (6) showed little early dash last start but found the line strongly to get up for second over this course and distance. Has a solid record at this circuit. Should be in the finish. PALM BEACH (4) sat on the pace last time and fought on well when a neck away in second over 1400m at this track. Should be in the finish again. MANA MAKANA (2) scored at this track last time out with a neck in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Can go on with it. LOT EMPEROR (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Fitter this time in easier will prove harder to beat.
