GOING: G

Race 1 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Not a great deal of early pace on paper so it may be left to one or more of the strong contingent of first starters to set the pace. CROWN PANTO (7) was well in commission on her debut over 1400m at this track five weeks ago and finished fifth. Expected to improve and will pay to follow up. BE VIVO (2) is a nine-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1200m at Funabashi. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. BRAINSTORM (3) was safely held on debut last start, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement. Expected to be competitive. SIENA ACE (9) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was seventh over 800m at this track. Tackles a longer journey this time and is in the mix on best form.
