GOING:

Race 8 1200m

Track:      

Keen tempo headed by Ganteng. EARTH CALLING (2) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. In top form including recording back to back wins, the latest scoring over 1000m at this track. Races well here and will go close again. MIYABI GRANT (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1000m at this track six weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. WANNA HAVE FUN (3) debuted with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WAKA CHIKO (7) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by 1.5 lengths over 1000m here last time out. In form and worth including.
