GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Yamanin Philia, Pay Basque and Martellato. HIIRAGI (1) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Well placed this line-up and can find winning ways. TANA VARIASHIHAYAI (9) got a long way back when seventh over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Expect a better run this time. MARTELLATO (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Nicely placed to feature. FACE NINE (5) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
