GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Strong pace from Beam and Daoradaora matching motors with Daichi Vivant close at hand. DAORADAORA (10) scored last time over 1400m at this track, making it five victories from eight appearances this time in. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Likely to feature. BEAM (7) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 2 lengths as public elect last time out over 1300m at this track. Shuji Akaoka scored on him last time and retains the ride. Has the talent to figure prominently. GEMMA (4) turned in a better effort to finish third last start, beaten 0.6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. One of the contenders. SNOW HORN ROAD (1) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 2.25 lengths at this track over 1400m. Worth another chance.
