GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Re Go To should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. FESTIVO (1) finished seventh two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KADOSAN GAMBARU (2) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten a neck after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. RE GO TO (7) went forward over 1400m at this track last time but found a couple better. Sure to give a great sight. DANON BLOSSOM (9) won at this track and distance at her last outing four-and-a-half months ago. Has found the right race and is worth including.
