GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Fumi Florence heading them off. SIENA DANCE (10) has recently been thereabouts without winning, the latest effort a third over 820m at this track. Oyama Ryutarou has registered four minor placings when on board. Sure to play a big role. EXSPERION (8) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Yet to win this track and distance but has recorded three minor placings from four attempts. Each way value in this. YAKUJIN MYO O (1) will find this a little easier than his third on debut a week-and-a-half ago, beaten 6 lengths at the end of 1400m at this track. Nicely drawn on the fence so he is a strong first-four chance. AVANZA (6) finished 9 lengths away in fourth after being prominent at the bend at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 4. No surprise if she figured in the finish.
