GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Miyabi Luna has good early speed and can negate the outside draw. GRUN WALD (10) is having his first run since March 12. Has a very good fresh record, scoring three times including one over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Key runner while fresh. SHIMANO DIAMOND (8) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. T K VINO (6) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when 5 lengths away in sixth over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. WONDER TRIGGER (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
