GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Let's Go Ask to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. EXSPERION (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second and beaten only half a length over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SATIN BODICE (5) is near a win after three minor placings in a row, the latest a close second over 1400m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. A SHIN BUONO (2) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing tenth over 1400m at this track. Rates highly on best figures - can do much better. MEISHO GAIFU (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1700m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
