GOING: S

Race 8 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

A solid tempo on the cards with Les Copains Mommy heading them off. AKRASIA (9) made it two wins in a row last time out when he scored by one length over 1300m at Saga. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is right in contention. ABRUMADOR (10) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1500m at this track four months ago. Has a decent record at this track with three minor placings from four runs. Likely to feature. LOGI MUSTANG (2) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish 12th over 1400m at Kawasaki in a disappointing performance. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LES COPAINS MOMMY (5) ran a better race when second-up last start, finishing 4.5 lengths away in fifth over 1400m at this track. Chance based off that.
