GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Haruno Samson. SMART ALTAIR (4) finished second last start over 1400m at this track following a run of two wins on end. Can find winning form again. FALCON BEAK (7) brought up a hat-trick last start when he scored in style over 1600m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done again. MOZU MAZOKU (2) is a distance specialist who improved sharply with a win over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length. Likely to be there at the finish again. FUKUCHAN KING (11) was in a different class last time out, settling well back before rounding up his rivals to score by 2 lengths over 1600m at this track. Can figure in the finish.
