GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Gambariki is the probable leader in the small field. WAKE UP PEOPLE (5) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track when sixth. Has been out of the money recently but finds the right race this time and gets his chance to feature. GAMBARIKI (2) is a distance specialist who ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1500m at this track. Anticipating a big run this time. TATSUNO KISEKI (3) missed the placings when fifth last time out over 1400m at Kawasaki. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. LUNAR SOUTH POLE (4) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish sixth over 1500m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
