GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Moderate pace with Maru Mori Active taking up the running ahead of Kitano Bon Voyage and Spice Man. AIZUWAKAMATSU (2) came from well back on the bend to score last time out over 1500m at this track. Will be hard to hold out again. WELWITSCHIA (12) ran below expectations last time here, finishing eighth and beaten 8 lengths starting at $6.40. Well placed and there is no reason why he cannot find winning ways. SPICE MAN (11) failed to figure last time over 1500m at this course, beaten 12 lengths into eighth. Among the main hopes if he brings his best. MARU MORI ACTIVE (8) ran below expectations last time at this venue, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.
