GOING: G

Race 9 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Strong tempo with Magic Moment, Gregg and Miyakono Tiara leading the charge. MAGIC MOMENT (14) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten a neck as favourite. Likely improver with strong prospects. SCENIC VIEW (13) showed good pace over 1600m at this track when resuming last time and defied all challengers to score by 3 lengths. Should be prominent in the run despite the wide draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to figure in the finish. GREGG (4) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by a neck over 1400m at Kawasaki. Winning rider Nakano Kazuma stays aboard. Sure to be competitive. DOJIGIRI (6) is fitter for two runs from a spell but yet to find best, the latest finishing tenth over 1600m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Can give cheek.
