GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Esca Tiae to take up the running with Edono Banzai and Energy Poco A Poco close at hand. STANLEY TESORO (8) was safely held in better company two runs back then appreciated the easier grade last time, scoring over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed in this line-up and can measure up again. ENERGY POCO A POCO (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 7 lengths starting at $7.50. Nicely placed to make amends. ESCA TIAE (4) finished 15th over 1600m at Ohi at her most recent appearance on December 30. Has to be respected. EDONO BANZAI (5) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when tenth, beaten 8 lengths, at this track over 1500m. Well placed and should be thereabouts.
