GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Turn To Best, Akai Tsume and After Beat to control the tempo. AFTER BEAT (8) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 4 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. AKAI TSUME (2) was beaten 3 lengths into second at this track two starts ago then finished 2 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at this track. Has a strong finish. Well placed and gets her chance to break through. NEO ANCORA (4) finished 4.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 850m at this track eight days ago. Steps up in distance today. Strong top-three chance. TEN RICH SMILE (9) is a consistent performer with three minor placings from four starts this campaign. Produced another good effort at her most recent run when third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways.
