GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Embracement. DAT DERE (5) improved last start but found a couple better at this course and distance, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of ability. May prove hard to beat in this suitable race. MR YOSSHA (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1580m after being prominent from the outset. Well placed this line-up so could find winning ways. MEISHO NANAKAZE (2) finished fifth last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Winner here three back and draws well. HARD ROCK STAR (3) has joined a new yard and was runner-up two back at Nagoya. Worth including.
