GOING: G

Race 9 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Plenty of pace with Sakaben Queen and Royal Epic leading from Kitano Martini. KITANO MARTINI (4) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when second over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Hard to beat again this time. ECORO SHINE (11) finished tenth when returning from a break last start over this distance at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Has a very good record here, including two wins from four starts. Sure to run well. MERRY COCKER (5) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight. Finds a nice race and is worth another chance. ROYAL EPIC (6) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth here over 1200m. He can make amends. Each way value.
