GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with American Light and Ras Dashen up front, pressured by Mana Mahalo and Taiki Monstre. RAS DASHEN (6) looks close to peaking after placing in both runs this time in. Produced a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track over 1400m. Winning chance. MANA MAHALO (8) got home by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with one win and four minor placings. Ryo Takamatsu stays on. Major player. WINNING LIVE (10) resumes after five months but has performed well at this track and trip in the past. Has to be respected. TAIKI COURAGE (1) draws well and has claims off a win when resuming three back.
