GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Good tempo expected with Grass Cheer, A Shin Moteur and Akatsuki Swallow rolling forward. BORDEAUX ADOUR (8) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only one length over 1500m at this track. Can go on with it. A SHIN MOTEUR (9) didn't fire over 1400m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. NISHIKI VIVRAVIVRE (12) settled well back last start and never threatened when tenth over 1400m at this track. Better than that run indicates and worth consideration. UP MEIHIME (4) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
