GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

They should run this along with Model Chan and Resplendor taking it up over Smart Rave. GRAND THEMIS (2) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Strong chance to take this. MODEL CHAN (6) finished fourth last start over 800m at this track in an improved run. Nicely placed to take this out. YUINO OTOSHIANA (7) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m here. Generally goes well here and worth plenty of thought. SEIUN SUPERIOR (8) could only manage to finish eighth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. No surprise if she figured in the finish in this suitable race.
