GOING:

Race 4 1600m

Track:      

Moderate tempo expected with Meisho Bonanza likely to find the front over Chuo Hahn and G T Happy. LUMEN (4) kicked off the campaign with a second then finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track two weeks ago as $1.9 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Peaking now and ready to win. DEEP KINDS (6) is a 15-start maiden finding it tough to win but has been in the placings at his last two runs, finishing third most recently over 1400m at this track. Seiya Tatara stays aboard and has been in the money on two occasions. Likely to run well. JO ELPIZO (2) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1300m at this track. Nicely drawn to go one better. JOSHO SAKURA (7) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Can feature in the finish.
