GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Win Stephanos leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. MAGNETAR (6) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by half a length over 1400m. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and two minor placings from four runs. Well placed and should be in the finish. SUN PLUMERIA (9) finished eighth after being in the firing line on the turn at her last appearance over 1000m at Kokura Dirt on February 24. Gets her chance to break the ice. WIN STEPHANOS (5) stepped out for his debut over 1600m at Kyoto back on January 21 and finished seventh. Open to improvement and can feature. MINACK THEATRE (2) finished adrift in 12th last time over 1700m at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed here to bounce back.
