Race 8 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Moderate tempo with Smart Rave leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. SMART RAVE (3) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track last time. Strike rate at this course and distance is impressive. Winning rider Tomohiro Sasada sticks and should be in the finish. HENNY'S NEPHEW (7) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was tenth over 1400m at this track. Fitter and expect a better run this time. SALITA (6) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing second over 1400m at this track most recently. One of the main contenders. MAPLE CAPTAIN (2) led throughout last start to score an effortless 6 lengths win over 1400m at Himeji. Must be included.
