GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Espelhar probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. ESPELHAR (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1500m at Nagoya after being prominent at the turn. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. WHITE CANVAS (4) missed the frame last time when seventh at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Watch for a much better run. SUNG GULIDANGDANG (9) was safely held when seventh last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. This doesn't look as hard so she can recapture winning form. NIHONPIRO PAX (5) missed the placings when sixth over 1400m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest and worth including.
