GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Solid pace with Kogen Mars finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. ERZ (5) scored last start at this track over this distance after he was in contention on the corner. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring four times from eight starts. Yoichi Ando has been the pilot at his last two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. GOLDEN CROWN (10) was safely held when second last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. BAKUSHIN FORWARD (3) finished third last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including five wins. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. KOGEN MARS (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run four months ago when he scored by a neck. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
