GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Eyes On Me, Full Of Praise and Mind My Words leading the way. HAYABUSA NANDEHIME (9) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1300m. Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Best figures measure up and can run well here. KAZUMA (2) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish back in fifth over 1300m at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. FULL OF PRAISE (11) finished out of the money when sixth over 1300m at Kochi seven weeks ago. Has the class to produce a better result. MIND MY WORDS (8) took advantage of the good draw and landed on the pace last start before tiring to finish fourth over 1300m at this track. Among the chances.
