GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure from Flight Blue, Rikka Laura and Batticuore battling for the lead over T M Idaten. T M IDATEN (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1300m at this track. Can go one better here. FLIGHT BLUE (4) took advantage of a low draw last time and led throughout, saluting by a head over 1300m at this track. Expected to take some stopping again. RIKKA LAURA (2) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth over 1400m at this track. Isao Yamaguchi who has two wins when partnering stays on. Expected to measure up. BLACK RISE (3) was sixth in a 1400m contest at this track last time out. Nicely placed to find some form.
