GOING:

Race 11 1900m

Track:      

The pace looks even at best without a noted on-pacer engaged. SPECIAL TALK (8) finished fifth last time out over 1600m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Shigeharu Mabuchi who has scored on him three times retains the mount and best form puts him right in this. PORT ROYAL (2) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished sixth last time out over 1600m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in distance today and is right in the mix. TSUMIKI HITOTSU (3) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago as a $1.3 favourite. Out in journey today and a eading hope. WIN HAPPINESS (1) is having his first run since December 31. Goes well when fresh with four wins and two placings from nine starts. Has found the right race and is worth including.
