GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

With little in the way of early speed Meteor Swarm may well find the front. SOUND NOVA (2) finished out of the money when seventh over 1600m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. METEOR SWARM (9) finished fifth over 1400m at this track last start. Faces an easier assignment and can play a role in the finish. NARITA BLADE (6) finished fourth last start over 1400m at this track. Has ability and can run a forward race. SMART WIZARD (8) was tenth in a 1600m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Can make amends.

Useful type. Returns from a 39-day let-up. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at this track on February 21 over 1400m, 8 len behind Flugel with 56kg at $5.60. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on February 6 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Win Honoka with 57kg at $4. Capable of more – worth another chance.
