GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Miracle Spurt to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. MIRACLE SPURT (5) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1500m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ENFLEURAGE (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KAGEMUSHA (9) has been out of the frame at his last couple of runs, last time finishing 16 lengths back in tenth over 2400m at Tokyo. Will appreciate this easier company and is worth another chance. INUBONO SAZANAMI (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
