GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Anti Jamila leading the way. ANTI JAMILA (8) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at today's track and distance when resuming from a layoff last start. Expect another big run. SAND FALCON (5) is close to a win placing at last couple, the latest finishing second at this track and drops in the weights for this. Has never been out of the money in four starts here at this trip, including a win. Expected to go very well. THERMAL (7) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 11 weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at Mizusawa. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Morioka Dirt over 1400m. Has ability and is a leading player. BATTICUORE (6) improved last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
