Race 8 1200m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo expected with Online Boss, Peptide Shuchiku and Mononofu Black prominent. DIOS MESSAGE (5) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by a head at this track and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up run. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. ONLINE BOSS (3) produced a solid effort last time when fourth over 1000m at this track. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Poses a genuine threat. KASTROM POPO (6) settled well back then made a little ground and finished eighth last time out over 1000m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Among the chances. PEPTIDE SHUCHIKU (7) was safely held when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, finishing 12th. Improves with racing and is a genuine threat on best.
