GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Kastrom Petra and Burquem kicking up to hold out the next wave. KASTROM PETRA (9) performed well last start when third at this track over 1300m and should be at peak now. Racing well and looks hard to beat. YUMEKA UTSUTSUKA (8) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1300m at this track in a disappointing performance. Can atone. KASHINO TENDER (5) finished out of the money when sixth over 1750m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to get the prize. BURQUEM (6) turned in a better run last start, finishing fourth over 1300m at this track. Top three contender.
