GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Pikku Prinssi leading the way. PIKKU PRINSSI (3) missed the frame last time when fifth at this track. That followed a run of two wins on end. Should be prominent from the low draw and his best form puts him right in this. AKAKICHINO ELEVEN (8) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back here with success over 1400m at this circuit three weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Has his share of ability and is hard to beat again in this suitable race. YELL QUEEN (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1230m at this course, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Has her share of talent and must be included in calculations. MIKKI CANDLE (7) raced on the speed last time before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this venue. This looks a nice race for her.
