GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Siena Queen and Techno Express leading the way over Satono Roi. PPALLIPPALLI (6) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. Good effort last start and can build on that performance. FLAME FORCE (7) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. In the mix. CAVALIER QUEST (9) was never in contention last time over 1230m at this track when he finished sixth. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. HANUMAN (10) finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Will trim down second-up and anticipating another forward showing.
