GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Plenty of pace evident with T M Doremi Run and Ping Pang Pong leading the way from Smile Pendant and Warp Engine. PING PANG PONG (3) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. DISTURBIA (5) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Shaping up nicely and she is one of the main chances. YUTO THE EAST (8) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. CROSS AVANCE (6) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third over 1400m at Kanazawa. In the right race and is a winning hope.
