GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Sphene Tesoro is the likely leader at a keen tempo. SPHENE TESORO (6) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a third last start over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to find winning ways. YTTERBIUM (2) is a four-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Yoshiki Yamada has registered two minor placings when on board. Sure to run well. RYUNO PETIT (1) is a five-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1300m. Ideally placed to shed the maiden tag. DADDY'S THANKS (8) finished eighth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1300m at this track, beaten only half a length. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
