GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo is on the cards with Lady Bolero and Kei Empereur pushing for the lead ahead of Thunder Peko and Meisho Ichirin. THUNDER PEKO (5) was well in commission last start over 800m at this track when third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has a decent record at this track with three minor placings from four runs. Should run well. KEI EMPEREUR (6) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 800m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. KANADERU FUNK (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when sixth in a 800m contest at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SHISHAMO (3) improved last start to finish third over 800m at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
