GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Grand Centre leading the way. GRAND CENTRE (3) closed last prep ten months ago when he finished fourth. Sure to prove tough to stop. DAISHICHISEI (5) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Sonoda on November 11. Should be hard to stop. KRIS BERG (4) finished fifth in a 1400m contest at this track three weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. SUWANNEE TESORO (2) was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
