GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Pace looks sure to be genuine with Negaiwa Kanau and Yes Yui Can matching motors, closely followed by M T Dragon. NEGAIWA KANAU (10) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the bend before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. ESOTERIC (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1400m at this track. Looks a top contender. M T DRAGON (4) was in the money when resuming two runs back then could only manage fifth at this track over 1500m two weeks ago. Will drift back but wind up late. Suited here and can feature with even luck. KNOW THE TRUTH (3) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 1500m at this track. Should be peaking now and is nicely placed to run well again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at this track on March 25 over 1400m, 3 len behind Dalbam with 56kg at $3. The run before that raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 11 at this track on March 17 over 1400m, 5 len behind La Tradicion carrying 56kg at $8.20. Likely to prove hard to hold out.
