GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Nangoku Top Gun taking up the running ahead of Backdoor and Hiro Star. GOLDEN THUNDER (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1300m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HIRO STAR (7) ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1300m at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. NANGOKU TOP GUN (3) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1300m at this track after showing good early speed. Contender. BACKDOOR (1) finished 4 lengths away in fifth after being prominent at the turn at his last appearance. No surprise if he figured in the finish.
