GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Ceriana, Meisho Gishi O and Brigliadoro primarily. MEISHO KAIKON (7) resumed over 1700m at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by a neck. Fitter for that last hitout and he looks hard to stop again. TIGER KRIS S (4) finished fourth over 1400m at Himeji at his most recent appearance on March 4. Comes here with definite claims. KIMON GAME (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Can go one better here. POD ROI (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects.
