GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Morpheus, Meiner Borderless and Hekiku to control the tempo. HOKKO HANAMICHI (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth starting at $2.40. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. MEINER BORDERLESS (1) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track over 1600m. Among the main chances. POPULAR SONG (8) fought on well for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Record at this track is strong. Strong claims on her best form. HEKIKU (5) last appeared four weeks ago over 1400m at this track when he finished 12th. This is his first run for the Mamoru Tanaka stable. Can feature.
