GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

There should be a bit of pressure with T M Sinister and Akrasia pressing forward in advance of Aitaka and Radio Ga Ga. KONA BLACK (3) has been racing against much stronger opposition on the JRA circuit, placing two back at Niigata. This is his first run for the Shizuo Oshima stable. Plenty to like about his prospects in this easier assignment. AKRASIA (7) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing second over 1400m at this track most recently. Great chance to take this out. AITAKA (5) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but disappointed last time when out of the placings. Could bounce back. T M SINISTER (2) draws well and could be ready to break through after collecting his fourth minor placing in a row last time over 1400m at this track.

The run before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on October 4 over 1400m, 3 len behind Digital Scion carrying 55kg at $7.20. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
