GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure on from the outset. FEND OFF (3) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by a neck. Can go on with it. MEISHO NIKONIKO (7) turned things around last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Masatoshi Yamamoto gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Likely to be there at the finish again. MASER KIC (9) is knocking on the door after three minor placings from three runs since resuming from a spell, most recently finishing second over 1400m at this track on April 7. Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. LA LA MONSTRE (6) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and stalked the lead before fading to finish fifth over 1600m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at this track on April 7 over 1400m, 1.1 len behind Fend Off with 54kg at $3.90. Before that won by 0.5 len at this track March 25 over 1400m defeating Satono Muscle carrying 54kg at $7.50. Won’t spend a cent in the run from the inside gate. Good each-way hope.
