GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. RENGANO KOBUTASAN (7) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Rates a top chance. IN THE SKY (6) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when eighth over this journey at this track. Expect a better run this time. PICHIKU PACHIKU (5) finished sixth last time out over 820m at this track when first up from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Strong top-three chance. CHO HAKUTAKA (4) made progress last time out, finishing second over 1400m at this track. Key runner.
