GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Strong pace from Ocea Hartman and Nil Admirari matching motors with Juggernaut close at hand. JUGGERNAUT (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Expected to go close. ORIENTAL KNIGHT (5) has been out of the placings at his last couple of outings, the latest when he couldn't come on after settling back and finished 14th over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Much better placed this time. DANIELA HONEY (7) has been in the mix without winning, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track. Among the chief contenders. OCEA HARTMAN (10) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 12th at this track over 1300m. Expect a better run here.
