GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track: STANDARD      

From the wide gate Ocea Top Gun can cross and lead a race without a great deal of pace on paper. PONT NEUF (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1700m at this track after missing the placings at the previous two appearances. Taht effort measures up. Sure to run well. SUN KALMIA (5) has recorded two minor placings on the trot, the latest offering a third over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. In a suitable race and can build on solid recent form. SOUND ROCKS (3) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. REAL PEGASUS (13) finished second last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Nicely placed to run well again.
