GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Engel leading from Natural Break and Tonton Byoshi. CARIBBEAN DANCER (3) is building towards her maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 1500m at this track, only beaten 0.8 lengths. Has the benefit of a low draw. Leading prospect. NATURAL BREAK (5) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1500m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Rates a hope. SUGINO DYNAMIC (7) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished eighth at his last appearance over 1500m at this track on February 27 after he gave away a big start. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. ENGEL (4) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
