GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track: DIRT      

Plenty of speedy runners on show, particularly Moyuno Iionna, Delight Rush and Keiai Rotorua. TETRAQUARK (1) was a determined winner last time over 1300m at this track and same rider Mai Beppu engaged here. Has been in sound form with three wins from six starts this preparation. Bold showing expected here. DELIGHT RUSH (3) has been in great form lately stringing together four wins and five placings. Among the leading chances again. INNOVATIVE (5) ran well for a 2 length victory at today's circuit and distance as the favourite last time out. Has the pace to be thereabouts early and likely be involved here on best form. NEO AMAZONES (6) showed good speed over 1300m at this track last time, winning by 9 lengths. Regular rider Hideya Sahara back aboard again. Worth including on best form.
