GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Without much in the way of early speed it might be left to Seiun Superior to take charge. SEIUN SUPERIOR (10) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when second. Certainly deserves another chance. SHIMPU KOEDO (8) failed to figure last time over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Has enough ability to test this field. NORD STELLA (2) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish third over 1400m at this track. Will push forward and is among the chances. SHIMANO DIAMOND (4) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish 2.5 lengths away in fourth at this track. Well placed to make an impact.
