GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo headed by Smart Venus and O Shin Candy. RYUNO TSUKAI (4) could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1400m at this track following a minor placing here the run prior. Terrific chance to break through. SMART VENUS (12) started at $3.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing ninth at this track over 1400m. Look for an improved run here. ADDINGTON (7) strips fitter after two runs this time in work. Finished second last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement in the first-up performance. Looks ready to win. O SHIN CANDY (10) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1400m at Himeji. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
