GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Hustler and O K Smile leading from Pawa Poke Champ and Keiai Antares. HUSTLER (6) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1300m at this track last start to make it five straight. Same winning combination as last time and can measure up again. KEIAI ANTARES (7) was a gutsy winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by half a length and making it four wins in a row. Rates well and among the chances again. PAWA POKE CHAMP (4) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second, beaten half a length. Should settle handy in the run. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. O K SMILE (3) improved last start to finish second over 1800m at this track. Suitably placed so she can figure again.
