GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Strong pace from Marine Dhun Dhun and Hakusan Tsukimitei matching motors with Namidano Kiss close at hand. MARINE DHUN DHUN (7) scored by 3 lengths first up from a spell last time out over 1400m at this track. Form here strong boasting 16 wins from 30 starts. Sure to run well. HAKUSAN TSUKIMITEI (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third when resuming last time out over 1700m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. RYUNO BREAK (4) scored by 1.5 lengths over this distance at this track last time out when fresh from a spell. Form here strong boasting five wins from seven starts. One of the contenders. NAMIDANO KISS (10) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1700m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
