GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Momo Royal to take up the running with Macho Sasupo and Cocoli Caledonian close at hand. MOMO ROYAL (8) resumed last start over this journey at this track and scored by 1.75 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at nine of 15 starts. Major player. BILLOWY DADA (7) improved sharply on his ninth two starts back with a win over 1400m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. TOMO COCOA (1) landed her maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Winning rider Kazuyuki Watase sticks and she is definitely worth including. MACHO SASUPO (9) did a great job to score by a neck over today's course and distance last start in a far better effort. No reason she cannot salute again.
