GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

A strong tempo is assured with Pure Makena and Kikkake leading the charge. BEL BEST RUNNER (9) has registered two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Turned in another good performance last time out when second over 1400m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. YAMANIN EPICURE (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. KIKKAKE (10) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1400m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Hasn't been far away this time in work with two minor placings from four starts. Expected to be competitive. GOLD HADITH (4) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
