GOING: G

Race 3 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Solid pace likely with Radish Dance prominent along with Pokapoka Time crossing from an outside gate. O SHIN SCAT (1) is fresh from a spell of five-and-a-half months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Kanazawa over 1500m. In a different yard now. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. DEMAIN FLEUR (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. STAR ADMIRAL (3) is a eight-start maiden who returned last time and finished tenth at Kawasaki over 1400m, beaten 33 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Will be in this for a long way. POKAPOKA TIME (10) ran below expectations last start, finishing tenth and beaten 6 lengths at Kawasaki over 900m. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.
