Race 3 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

A strong gallop is likely with Hurry Flag and Blaze Boy taking up the running, closely attended by Yui Dinosaur and Smart Pirka. HURRY FLAG (9) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely to push forward from the wide draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. BLAZE BOY (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. YUI DINOSAUR (6) is a 34-start maiden struggling to break through but has been in the money at the last couple of outings, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. QUEEN PALACE (3) finished 6 lengths from the winner in seventh at her most recent appearance over 1300m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
