GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Quantum Leap to take up the running at a moderate tempo. LA LA TERROIR (1) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only half a length from the winner at the end of 1400m. Major player. QUANTUM LEAP (5) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when third. Tomohiro Yoshimura is back on and has a solid record on the eight-year-old, including six wins. Among the leading chances. STABILIZER (3) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when eighth over 1400m at this track. In a suitable race and is capable of taking this out. JO NOVELISTA (9) is working towards a win, the latest effort a solid second over 1400m at this track. Has appeal.
