GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Number Theory taking up the running ahead of Honkito Kaite Maji and Siena Sky. NUMBER THEORY (5) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1400m, only beaten 0.8 lengths. Cherry-ripe now and ready to win. CONTI BANQUET (1) is a 10-start maiden who finished eighth at her most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. SIENA SKY (9) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Sonoda. Has ability and is a leading player. HONKITO KAITE MAJI (6) finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track after he was well back on straightening. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
