GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Moderate pace with Al Shiraa taking up the running ahead of Kitano Princess and Big Gate. AL SHIRAA (10) went forward over 1400m at this track last time and held on for third. Should settle on the speed despite the draw. Taiga Kurihara stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Bold showing is expected. NAC KAISER (2) is closing in on a win, appreciating the easier company last time and hitting the frame for the first time when second over 1500m at this track. Has upside and expected to run very well. KITANO PRINCESS (7) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was eighth over 1500m at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. TIMMONS (1) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, finishing sixth. Best efforts measure up and worth another chance.
