GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo expected with Super Moon likely to find the front over Takeno Eiko and Agrume. SUPER MOON (2) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better here. Has his share of talent and will be hard to beat in this suitable race. TAKENO EIKO (7) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 2 lengths into third over this track and trip. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MORPHE A SEIRA (4) improved last start but found one better here after being in the firing line on the turn. One of the key chances. TURN THE CORNER (8) next best.
