GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Hakusan Selene, J L Bulker and Sept Couleurs prominent. PIKO BLUE (2) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 3 lengths over 1500m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from five runs. Sure to go well again. KEIAI KARAKIA (4) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second last time over 2000m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. SEPT COULEURS (8) finished 3 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start over 1500m at this track. Has a strong record this course, scoring at seven of 14 starts. One of the leading contenders. O SOLE RIKA (1) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 920m at this track after being prominent until the final stages. Well placed and can run a better race.
