GOING: G

Maiden Race 2000m

Track: FIRM      

Without on-pacers engaged it may turn into a sprint home. AIR BIG MOM (2) went forward from the low draw when resuming last start and sat on the pace before sticking on well to finish second over 1800m at Kokura. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. KRAVANS (13) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 2000m at Kokura, beaten 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SAIMON NOBLE (11) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at Kokura, beaten 1.5 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ASKCOMMENTALLEZVOU (12) improved last start when second-up but found a couple better over 2200m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Finds a nice race and can play a big role again.
