GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Rhein Endeavour has enough pace to take up the running from his wide draw in a low-pressure affair. ROMAN TEA (4) was well fancied last time but ran below par, finishing seventh over 1500m at this track. Better than the last effort suggests and deserves another chance. HUIT MOULINS (12) finished fifth last start over 1500m at this track in an improved run. Has ability and is among the leading chances. RHEIN ENDEAVOUR (11) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 920m last time, finishing fifth. Anticipating a better run this time. CARILLON BELL (2) has been safely held at her last couple of runs, the latest when 13th over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Easier assignment this time so don't underestimate.
