GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Looks a keen contest with Meisho Poirot and Terceira pressing for the lead with Saikyo Saiko and Meisho Nowaki close at hand. TERCEIRA (3) ran below expectations last time out, finishing sixth starting at $5.10. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEISHO POIROT (1) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track when fifth. Can play a major role. A SHIN CORAZON (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on with it. CARAMEL CHORD (7) ran below expectations last start, finishing seventh at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
