GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely with Angel Caido, Emeral Happy and Flintlock prominent. SMART ALLISTER (1) made progress last time out, finishing in third at the end of 1300m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. FLINTLOCK (10) has switched yards since finishing rearward five weeks ago over 1200m at Fukushima. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. LOOK UP TO (3) disappointed last time out but came desperately close to winning the start prior. Worth another chance. ANGEL CAIDO (5) was out of the money in fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
