GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of early pace with Pink Chan and Postmodern battling for the lead but there will be pressure from a few other on-pacers. T O LA TOUR (1) scored a commanding win at this track over 1400m at her latest appearance on March 24. Runs very well here having never missed the frame from three starts. Should take some beating. MEISHO INASE (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third over 1750m at this track. Manato Hida gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. In the mix. PINK CHAN (7) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when tenth over 900m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so she can feature here. MAKAI LEI (6) last start finished sixth at this track over 1400m. Nicely placed to break the run of outs.
