GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Umetaro and A Shin Merida engaging in an early battle ahead of Balder Brain and Aoi Dahlia. UMETARO (5) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on three occasions from six starts. Could be hard to catch today if he gets a soft lead. BALDER BRAIN (6) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when third. Has a decent record at this track and among the leading chances. MAGICAL MOTION (8) turned in an eye-catching run over 1500m at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Record at this journey is strong with two wins from six runs and is expected to be competitive. DRY CAPPUCCINO (4) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when tenth over 1500m at this track. Has ability and is a top-three hope.
