GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Pressure should be on from the outset with a few pacey runners in the big field. WILSON WAY (3) scored a well-earned maiden win last time out by 2.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Can go on with it with the confidence high.RIKEA SABLE (9) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1400m at Sonoda after a win there at the previous outing. Won't find this as tough so he can make amends. CALL ME MAYBE (8) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. STEEL ACTOR (5) was sixth in a 2100m contest at Nagoya at his latest appearance. Suitably placed and can turn things around.

Form hard to fault. Most recently crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 4th of 12 at Nagoya on May 29 over 2100m, 11 len behind Fuku Pygmalion carrying 56kg at $7.10. Before that won by 3 len at this track May 9 over 1400m defeating Warashibechoja with 57kg at $1.30. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
