GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Expecting Trepak to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. HELLO NEW ME (5) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only one length from the winner at the end of 1400m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. KAMIGAMINO UTAGE (6) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back with success over 1600m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. LOVELY DISC (3) built on a nice second two starts back with a win over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Myojo Haru Dai scored on her last time and retains the ride. Well placed and can score again. A SHIN ROTATE (7) was fifth in a 1600m contest at this track last time out. Can figure in the finish this time.
