Race 1 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate pace with Men taking up the running ahead of Kayako and Elegant Fleur. MEN (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. ELEGANT FLEUR (4) finished sixth last start over 1400m at this track when she had to contend with an awkward barrier. Fares better at the draw this time and capable of a big run. FLY WITH ME (8) finished out of the money when seventh in a 1400m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver. KAYAKO (10) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Top-three prospects here.
