GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Labuanbajo to take up the running at a moderate tempo. LABUANBAJO (4) is building an excellent record with 18 wins from 24 starts, the latest at this track. Change of rider to Tatsuya Watanabe who has an excellent strike rate when in the saddle, including nine wins. Should be hard to stop. SOUND NOVA (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 28 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. NEO AMAZONES (5) improved sharply on her seventh two starts back at this track with success over 1600m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. GLAUX (3) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 32 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can run a bold race.
