GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Strong pace from Shoken and Annus Novus matching motors with Good Day Silence close at hand. KEIAI ANTARES (2) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 1700m at this track. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. SHOKEN (9) went forward over 1700m at this track last time and held on for second. Will be looking to cross and steady the tempo. Expected to take running down. MISS SARAWAK (4) broke through for her maiden win over 1700m at this track last time. Winning rider Genta Ochiai stays aboard and she cannot be underestimated. MANA MAKANA (5) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1200m at this track when beaten half a length. Worth including.

Recent form sound. Last start set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 7 at this track on September 3 over 1700m, 2.5 len behind Miss Sarawak carrying 57kg at $6.90. The start before that led but faded 2nd of 7 at this track on August 20 over 1600m, 2 len behind Keiai Antares carrying 57kg at $7.10. Worth thought from inside alley.
