GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Good early pace from Kevin's Cross, Meiner Julian and Top King going forward to hold out some other speedy customers. KEVIN'S CROSS (8) was leading on the turn and fought on well to finish second over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Should be poised just off the lead and can play a major role. MEISHO ADHARA (9) ran above expectations and got up for third at long odds at her latest appearance at this track over 1500m. Backmarker who keeps coming and could prove hard to hold out. THURSTON IDAHO (3) started at $4.10 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing a disappointing tenth over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back here. KUTSUWA FAMILY (2) missed the frame last start over 1400m at Sonoda, finishing eighth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Going well. At the latest run gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at this track on April 23 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Meiner Julian carrying 55kg at $1.50. The race before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 9 at this track on April 9 over 1400m, 4 len behind My Verite carrying 56kg at $1.50. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again.
