GOING: G

Race 8 1600m

Track: GOOD     True  

Pace genuine with Toa Kalakaua and Happy Spiral pressing hard closely followed by Rosen Wolf and Ho O Seleccion. TOA KALAKAUA (3) scored by 1.3 lengths over this distance at this track last time out. Form here strong boasting three wins from six starts and can keep the ball rolling here. MIENO THUNDER (4) resumes. Closed last campaign with back-to-back placings. Has upside and is expected to go well. SUZUNO HAMAYA (6) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1600m at this track when returning from a spell. Heading the right way and gets his chance to get off the mark. ROSEN WOLF (11) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 2000m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again.
