GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

A keen early contest likely with Firm Love and Smile Maya pushing for the lead with Geopark Boss and June Spark on their backs. GEOPARK BOSS (10) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Will need a good ride from Tomohiro Yoshimura off the awkward draw. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. FIRM LOVE (6) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1400m at this track when she was handy all the way. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. METAL METALLICA (4) finished tenth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of talent. In the mix. HASHIRU SHOGUN (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Each-way hope.
