GOING:

Race 3 1000m

Track:      

Expecting Thorough Meghan to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. HARETAHINI (2) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1000m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. THOROUGH MEGHAN (1) showed good speed and led for much of the way before fading to finish 12th, beaten 11 lengths, over 1000m here last time. Will take some running down. CHOGOLISA (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 820m at Sonoda. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. EARTH J SONTE (3) returned from a spell a week ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1000m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
