GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Hurry Flag heading them off. RAMBUTAN (9) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1300m at this track. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. CROWN MAKANA (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1300m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. KIRISHIMA KOTOBUKI (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1400m. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. WIN CRETE D'OR (11) finished 4 lengths away in fourth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on March 20. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
