GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Kikkake leading the way. MIDORITATSU (3) ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten a neck. Can measure up with the right run. RARE REAL NORVE (7) resumed over 1000m at this track last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and she looms as a significant threat. KIKKAKE (2) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Well placed and in the mix. CRYPTIC CODE (4) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when sixth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to bounce back.
