GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Meisho Uzumasa and Espoir Guy taking up the running over Sunrise Grit. ESPOIR GUY (4) improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be overlooked. SOUTHERN STATE (1) missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track when fifth. Has the ability to test this field. ROCKY THUNDER (3) disappointed last time when tenth over 1900m at this track after a close second at this track the run prior. Goes well at this shorter journey so should be competitive. T UP X (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when eighth over 1900m at this track. Well placed to turn things around.
