GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of speed engaged with Curren Pump It Up, Isshin and Tambaffe going forward ahead of Rare Genius and Miracle Bern. CURREN PUMP IT UP (2) is back at the races for the first time since February 20 2024. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Himeji. Capable of playing a major role. ISSHIN (3) showed good early speed and led around the bend last start before being cut down, finishing fourth and beaten 1.75 lengths over this journey at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. SPUR CROSS (6) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAMBAFFE (10) was beaten 14 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
