GOING: G

Race 2 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

With no recognised leader engaged it might be left to Keiai Magora, Rase Grise and Nishino Messiah to control the tempo. KEIAI MAGORA (1) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Likely improver with strong prospects. NISHINO MESSIAH (3) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1400m after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to go a couple better. RAINBOW COLOR (9) impressed last time when she scored by a neck over today's journey at this track on March 28. Down in the weights this time so another bold run looks likely. NISHINO TENKAFUBU (11) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this circuit. Best figures measure up favourably and can feature.
