GOING: G

Race 3 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Kramskoi and Remember Well can lead the small field. REMEMBER WELL (4) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1500m at this track three-and-a-half months ago and has not been produced since. Has plenty of upside and can win again. TAISEI THRIVE (7) could only manage ninth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. POP THAT BODY (5) impressed when successful on debut over 1500m at this track a month ago. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. KRAMSKOI (3) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage fourth last start, beaten 10 lengths over 1500m at this track. Should settle in the leading division. Can do better. Solid top-three hope.
