GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of speed with Cosmo Piedra, Bari Black and Nitro Journey leading Gambanteinn and Lycka Krona. BARI BLACK (4) a sequence of wins was broken last time out when he finished third over 1400m at this track. Well-placed to make amends. LYCKA KRONA (2) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. GOLD ORIS (9) missed the frame last start over 1400m at Kawasaki when ninth. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. NITRO JOURNEY (3) made progress last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
