GOING: G

Race 10 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Solid pace likely with Smoke Flavor prominent along with Hiten crossing from an outside gate. A SHIN NECTAR (3) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only a neck. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. MELOS GO (5) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1500m at this track last start. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be in the finish. SMOKE FLAVOR (2) finished fourth over this distance, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming at his latest outing. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from five starts. Should be prominent from the low draw. Winning claims on best figures. HITEN (12) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish seventh, beaten 5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
