GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Off the low draw Smile Mont Blanc is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. DANON ONEUP (4) course and distance winner who last start finished second, beaten a neck, over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat. OBSIDIANA (10) ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Sure to run well. SMILE MONT BLANC (2) is going better than form suggests, last time finishing fourth over 1230m at this track. Sound record at this distance with two wins and three minor placings from six runs and has to be respected. KAWAKITA HOKU LEA (3) scored two back but was below her best last time when eighth over 1700m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
