GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace only with Meisho Koshi leading R Wizard. MEISHO KOSHI (8) returns from a break of five months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1230m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. ARC RIOSO (4) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 7 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. R WIZARD (6) finds it hard to win with four victories from 55 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. CROWN OCEAN (7) ran a better race last start, finishing 4.5 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see her in the mix.
