GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Without frontrunners engaged Beach Highball gets the chance to lead. SAIKOROCHAN (5) ran a better race last start to finish second at this track over 1400m. Nicely placed and rates highly off that run. Expected in the finish. MEISHO UMIKAZE (9) made progress last start to finish third over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up and can run well. SOLAR SYSTEM (8) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished second over 920m at this track. Leading hope this time. BEACH HIGHBALL (11) finished fifth at this track and distance at his last appearance four months ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect fresh.
