Strong tempo assured with Baia Specter and Merkur leading the way over Wakino Aries. WAKINO ARIES (4) changes rider since being well held last time in sixth over 1400m at this track on February 11. Forgive the last run and worth following up. MEISHO KUMOJI (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Has ability and looks one of the major players in this suitable race. TOKINO KELLY (5) finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Fitter and can go a couple better. DIVIN CADEAU (7) finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.
