GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Promessa leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. KITANO POLISH (3) fought on for third last start over 1400m at Kasamatsu, making it two minor placings in a row. Right in contention. LEO HEARTBEAT (11) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish ninth over 1500m at this track. Can bounce back. ZAFFERANO (1) started at $7.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth here over 1400m. Nicely placed to make amends. SLEIPNIR (6) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing ninth. Best efforts measure up and worth another chance.
