GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

From the wide gate At The Hop should cross and lead. AT THE HOP (11) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1500m. Has a decent record here with one win and three minor placings. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Best form puts her right in this. GRACE CHARMANT (4) turned in a fine effort to score by a head at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Nicely placed to take this out. NIHONPIRO KAY (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 0.8 lengths over 1500m at this track. Can feature again. MEISHO KITADAKE (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1500m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
