GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Nihonpiro Port and Mikazuki to battle for the lead ahead of the small field. KAYADO BLACK (6) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in a more suitable affair scored by a neck over 1400m at this track. Can go on with it. MIKAZUKI (4) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to figure in the finish. SPRING MOON (5) caught the eye last start over 1400m at this track, coming from the tail and running on strongly to score by a neck. Confidence high after that last performance so she is right in the mix again. NIHONPIRO PORT (7) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone.
