GOING: FM

Race 8 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Pace looks strong with Natural Turn pressing on from an outside draw, joining Gauri Shankar. TARO MEISTER (1) did a great job to score by one length over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Finds a suitable assignment and can continue the winning form. TOKKI HOLLETT (12) resumed over 800m at this track last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by half a length. Fitter for that last hitout and she is a major player again. OMOISOMERU (4) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m at Kawasaki. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. NATURAL TURN (11) is resuming from a spell of six months and having his first run for the H Sasaki yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Ohi over 1200m. Chance.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at this track August 23 over 1400m defeating Pure American with 56kg at $2.20. The start before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at this track July 12 over 1500m defeating Sekitei Juo with 56kg at $4.20. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside draw.
