GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

No obvious leader in a race that lacks much early pressure on paper. BEACH BLUES (1) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track after he was prominent at the turn. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. FLASHDANCE (3) finished fifth last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Include. APOTHEKER (9) finished fourth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 8. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. CAFE NO WIEN (4) returns from a spell of four months and did win first-up last time in work over 1400m at this track. Worth plenty of thought fresh.

Second-up. First-up after seven months came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on April 9 over 1400m, 2 len behind Shinzen Atsuta carrying 56kg at $2.20. Previously second-up ran last of 11 at Hakodate Dirt on June 24 over 2400m, slow going 28 len behind Cor De Anil carrying 56.0kg at $83.10. Improver with winning prospects.
