GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track: DIRT      

Expecting the highly-fancied Vaclav to set a solid tempo. VACLAV (7) returned to winning form last start scoring a nose win over this journey at this track. Has a good record this course and distance including two wins and two placings. Expected to measure up again. SUN WACO (8) has an honest record at this distance including three wins from 10 runs. Big run likely. WONDER KRADOD (2) showed good speed and fought on for a place when second over 1500m at this track last time. Jockey Naoya Hashimoto stays atop and although yet to win has been in the money on him eight times. Rates one of the contenders. ALL IN (9) has sound form here including a win and seven placings from 18 starts. Has found a suitable race here and is a definite each way hope.
