GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Mana Hoku Lani taking up the running ahead of Novel Way and Fez Kazuma. MANA HOKU LANI (4) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at Morioka Dirt. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. NOVEL WAY (8) is in top form with three wins on end, the most recent an effortless 6 lengths victory over 1400m at this track seven weeks ago. Form here at this trip reads three wins from six starts. Best form puts her right in this. HEART'S KELLY (6) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at Morioka Dirt. Will push forward and is among the chances again. FESTIVE MENOKO (1) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1000m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well.
