GOING:

Race 8 920m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Keika likely to hold the lead from the rails draw, joined by Mikano Venus. COPA KATSU (9) impressed last time with a 3 length win at this track over this journey. In form and pay to follow up. MIKANO VENUS (8) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 920m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Has a good record at this course and distance, including four wins. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KEIKA (1) is back after a break of five months. Looking to emulate her win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Worth plenty of thought. OKEN BOSS (2) turned in a better run last start, beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 920m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
