GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Pace will be genuine with O K Thunder and Otani's Smile locking horns in advance of Mozu Sniper and Yamori Atsumare. MOZU SNIPER (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track. Heading the right way and gets his chance to get off the mark. OTANI'S SMILE (7) scored over this journey two back then failed at the longer trip last time when sixth at this track. Great chance to atone. LLOYD BAROWS (5) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing fifth at his latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Among the chances on best figures. DREAM GLOW (8) closed off strongly last start to get up for third over 1400m at this track. Definite threat in this line-up
