GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Surprise One One from his low draw. YEHOSHUA (4) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up and can threaten here. SURPRISE ONE ONE (3) was in the money two starts back but couldn't back it up last time when 12th here over 1300m. This is a nice drop in grade, so he is a major player. TIGER WAGON (9) missed the frame last time when sixth at this track over 1300m. Likely improver with strong prospects. GRUSS GOTT (11) last raced on April 4 when fifth at this track over 1300m. Best figures measure up and is in the mix.
