GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Pace looks strong with Novel Way pressing on from an outside draw, joining Cosmo Mocha. NOVEL WAY (11) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Worth another chance. RIKO ASTRA (8) is racing well. Scored at Morioka Dirt two back then finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1400m at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. NEVER EVER (2) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LONGWOOD (1) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when second over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Racing well recently. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at Morioka Dirt on May 26 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Kiss Me Eye with 57kg at $2.50. Before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.5 len at Morioka Dirt May 12 over 1400m defeating Indie Film carrying 56kg at $1.70. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside stall.
