GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace from Nihonpiro Reach and Ala Gracia matching motors with Reigning Cat close at hand. KICHIROKU CAP (4) was a gutsy winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by one length to make it three wins in succession. Hard to knock and should go well again. ALA GRACIA (3) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Has the ability to take this out. NIHONPIRO REACH (2) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths over this trip. Form here at this journey is very good with six wins from eight runs. Should be involved in the finish. LONELY PLANET (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 28 when beaten 10 lengths into eighth at Saga over 1400m after he gave away a big start. Good enough on his day and can play a prominent role.
