GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

A strong gallop is likely with Charmy Eyes and Justin Capri taking up the running, closely attended by Nadi Star and Risky Whisky. NADI STAR (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Chasing a hat-trick and may prove too good for these. CHARMY EYES (7) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much-improved run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. JUSTIN CAPRI (2) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1230m at this track on January 10. One to consider freshened-up. TENKU WORLD (9) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. The engagement of Takashi Nakata is noteworthy. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
