GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. MON SHUTTLE (6) showed good speed here last time over 1230m until tiring late and finishing seventh. Will strip fitter third-up and can make the frame. MARTINA (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at this circuit. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SMART CANON (1) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Well drawn and is worth including. LOVE YOU SAKURA (7) was responsible for a better run last start, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
