GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Good pace from Irwin, Curren Pump It Up and Not B One going forward. IRWIN (5) went fast early over 1400m at this track when resuming last time and dug deep to score by 9 lengths. Meets a stronger field but she is capable of running a bold race. CURREN PUMP IT UP (10) scored an overdue maiden win last time out, getting home by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a wide gate to overcome but he cannot be underestimated. NOT B ONE (9) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 3 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. SHINZEN KOTARO (8) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at this track two starts back then got the job done by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Can go on with it.
