GOING:

Race 9 1870m

Track:      

They should run this along with Smart Kanathos and Omokage Jo taking it up over I Samain. OMOKAGE JO (6) returns after a spell of four months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. DERMA VEDA (2) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when tenth over 1400m here. Capable of testing his rivals. ORENO SUGOWAZA (5) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 1400m. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. CHIEF IN THE SKY (4) latest effort was a fourth over 1230m at this track. Nicely placed to turn things around over further.
