GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Mephisto and Baia Specter will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. MEPHISTO (7) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being prominent at the turn over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his sixth at this track the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. CHO KANSEI (1) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing sixth over 1400m at this track most recently. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TRANSCENDENTAL (2) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 9 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong prospects. STEINER (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when ninth over 1400m at this track after he was well back on straightening. In the right race and should be about the money.
