GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Meiwa Sherry and Hiro Shige Crystal can be prominent. HIRO SHIGE CRYSTAL (3) is a last-start winner over 1200m at Funabashi, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by a head. Sure to take some stopping again. MEIWA SHERRY (1) missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Could prove hard to beat in this suitable race. GOLD BOARD (2) did little and finished sixth over 800m at this track last start. Anticipating a big run this time. WAIKIKI BEACH (5) hasn't been able to break through for a while, the latest effort a fifth over 1300m at this track. Well placed and can play a prominent role.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 49 day letup. Resuming favourite; won by 4 len at this track March 16 over 1300m defeating Taishitamondaro carrying 54kg at $2.50. Second-up favourite; won by a head at Funabashi May 4 over 1200m defeating Derma Opera with 54kg at $1.70. Fitter and should relish the step up to 1300m.
