GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. WAIMANGU (7) last appeared five weeks ago over 1200m at Funabashi when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Koji Sekimoto stable. Plenty to like about his prospects. CABINET BATTLE (1) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LOGAN MOUNTAIN (5) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 1000m at this track. Expected to be there at the business end. SANTORINI BLUE (8) improved last start to finish second over 1200m at this track. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
