Race 8 1400m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo set by Nihonpiro Reach and Cosmo Finesse. NIHONPIRO REACH (5) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Has a high cruising speed. Best form puts her right in this. NEEDLESS TO SAY (2) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PORT TAURANGA (8) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Finds a nice race and can atone. KIRA KAIDO (1) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m here. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
