GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Matheus leading the way. IMMORTAL SOUL (9) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 30 lengths victory over 1500m at this track a month ago. Has a formidable record at this journey with three wins and four placings from nine starts and should prove tough to beat. TENKU FLOWER (11) has switched yards since finishing 13th eight weeks ago over 1000m at Kokura Dirt. Expecting a big run. GOLD MAGICAL (1) settled well back and turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1400m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. FESTIVE KAREN (5) turned in a mediocre run last time out over 1400m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways.
