GOING:

Race 4 920m

Track:      

Plenty of runners but a dawdling affair is on the cards. FLYING MONKEY (8) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. Katsuki Niwa has registered two minor placings when on board. Could be hard to stop. COOL FLARE (1) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at this track. Can go a couple better here. SHABAZI (6) is poised to win after placing at her last four outings, most recently when second over 1500m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Nicely placed to take this out. ABSTRUSE (12) improved last time out, finishing second at the end of 1500m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
