GOING:

Race 8 1000m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Eternal Wind. MANO LEA (1) is going well this preparation, including a last start win over 1000m at this track to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Leading contender. TAISEI ROSY (3) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ETERNAL WIND (12) is ready to break through after a better run last time when third over 1000m at this track. Speedy beginner who can overcome the wide barrier. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Sure to be thereabouts in a race that suits. KIA KIA (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1000m at this track. Can break the run of outs.

Winning prospects enhanced by the inside alley.
