GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Wonder Visible leading the way. WONDER VISIBLE (4) is back from a four months spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. LA LA ANCESTRAL (1) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on three consecutive occasions, before finishing seventh last time out over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and is worth another try. NICE LIGHT (9) started at $2.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths at this track over 1230m after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEISHO TADAKATSU (6) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 12th, beaten 30 lengths, at this track over 1230m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
