GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Ho O Verite to take up the running at a moderate tempo. HEALING ART (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 4 lengths over today's trip at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and a placing. Expected to take some running down. HO O VERITE (4) is working towards a win, the latest effort a solid third over 1400m at this track. Has ability and is one of the major players. DAISHIN VESPA (3) finished seventh over 1400m at Himeji at her most recent appearance on February 21. Comes here with definite top-three claims. ULTIMAN (6) was sixth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to find some form here.
