GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Copano James should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. CARLINO (1) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with five wins and four minor placings from 11 starts. Top chance again. KURINO ORION (3) scored a narrow win last time over 1300m at this track on March 1. Nice weight drop so she is a leading contender again. COPANO JAMES (6) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1300m at this track. Goes well at this journey with four wins and four placings from 12 starts and shapes as one to consider. KINSEN O (9) finished third last time over 1300m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from six starts at this track. Worth noting Taichi Nagamori goes aboard. Ready to go a couple better.
