GOING: S

Race 8 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Moderate tempo with Piko Green leading the way. LOCOMOTION (1) was far from disgraced when third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. PIKO GREEN (10) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MOMEN (5) pushed forward from a wide draw when resuming last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DERMA TSURIDASHI (6) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths over 1400m at Urawa. Looks close to a win and worth including.
