GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Just a moderate pace anticipated. STROMUNG (7) could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. RED ACTEUR (3) finished out of the money when sixth in a 1400m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Best figures measure up and can run well here. ORENO SUGOWAZA (5) drifted back and never threatened when seventh last start over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. KURINO KOTEI (9) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1230m at this track. Nicely placed to bounce back.
