GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Without a great deal of early pace evident Martellato may lead the way over Jun Dash. MEISHO MASAKARI (4) missed the frame last start at Himeji, finishing fourth. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MARTELLATO (11) finished in sixth last time at Himeji in a disappointing performance. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMART ARION (10) doesn't win out of turn but strikes a suitable assignment this time. Can play a role in the finish on best figures. Don't take lightly. JUN DASH (2) has been in the market at her last couple of starts since resuming but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing sixth at Himeji. Can improve and is worth including.
