Race 3 1400m

Track:      

No surprise if the newcomers played a big part in the tempo of this race with little early speed evident from the raced runners. HAMBURG IMOTO (9) finished third last start over 1400m at this track to make it three minor placings from 10 runs. Has a solid record here with two top-three finishes to her name. Ideally placed to open her account. SUN VELOCE (3) is a 11-start maiden who finished ninth at her most recent outing over 1230m at this track. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. MAPLE DREFONG (8) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished eighth over 1230m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. UMA NIGO (7) finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
