GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Keen early pace with K T Battler, Pod Flutter and Realisation locking horns. K T BATTLER (7) finished midfield last start at Chukyo over 1200m. Taking on this longer journey for the first time. Look for a much better performance here. GLORY MOANI (1) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1400m at Urawa. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. ESCARLATE (9) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished seventh at her last appearance over 1500m at this track on September 6. Worth including in this suitable contest. POD FLUTTER (6) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn before tiring to finish sixth over 1500m at this track last time out. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
