GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Expect a strong tempo with One Way pressing on from an outside draw, with Kibaru Star nearby. ONE WAY (12) scored a win first up then battled on well to hold second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths as favourite. Going well and has strong claims. KIBARU STAR (1) scored two back then gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1600m at this track. Drawn to go forward again. Anticipating another big run. TOP DIA (8) showed early speed from a good draw when resuming last start then battled on well for third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Contender. ONIKU DAISUKIMAN (7) really dug deep to get the prize by a nose three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Must respect.
