GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Garibata, Elizabeth Buddy and Springa Fort vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. GARIBATA (4) was only a neck from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 1400m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. SPRINGA FORT (7) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 3 lengths last time out over 1500m at Kawasaki. Strong prospects. KOKO KYUNKYUN (1) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at Sonoda. Finds another suitable race and can go on with it. SARASA CHALLENGE (3) finished second last time over 1400m at Sonoda, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is likely to play a big role.
