GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

The pace looks moderate in the absence of on-pace runners. LEG THROUGH (4) is ready to break through after collecting his 8th minor placing in a row last time over 1500m at this track. With a little improvement can take this out. TAKE NOTICE (10) was second-up from a break and having his first try on a dirt track when 12th at Chukyo Dirt over 1800m. Suited here and look for an improved run. JUN FIRENZE (1) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1500m at this track. Among the leading chances. EARTH HEROINE (6) drew wide last time and was safely held when fifth over this track and trip. A better showing is expected.
