GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace with G T Paris taking up the running ahead of Tayasu Sole and Meisho Watayuki. MAPLE GIN (6) held on well to finish second when first-up from a break last time out over 800m at this track after leading for much of the way. Sure to go well again. G T PARIS (8) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. Expect him to play a major role. FESTIVE FREE (7) raced below his best last time when seventh over 1400m here. Well placed and worth another chance. TAYASU SOLE (3) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fourth over 1400m at this track. Worth including.
