Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Donald Poker and Honkito Kaite Maji leading the charge. DONALD POKER (5) is a 16-start maiden finding it tough to win but has been in the placings at his last two runs, finishing second most recently over 1400m at this track. Goes well at this trip, recording five minor placings and is among the leading chances. HONKITO KAITE MAJI (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. NO TEN P KAN (4) is yet to break through in 10 runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 9 after he was well back on straightening. Solid top-three chance on his best figures. GO GO POWER (3) finished second at Himeji two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 13 lengths back in eighth. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
