GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Nile Rose is expected to lead at a keen tempo. NILE ROSE (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NAMIB (8) was a winner at this track over this distance two back then tackled a longer trip last time but failed to measure up when fourth at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and is a leading player. MEISHO ITAMAE (4) is back from a spell of six months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1500m at Nagoya. Has found the right race to kick off the campaign. HOPE IN THE DARK (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
