GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Smart Freyja and Wild Titan up front. SMART FREYJA (2) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 1.3 lengths into second over 1400m at Sonoda. Drawn to go forward and can feature in the finish. WILD TITAN (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 800m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. NAMURA PAPI (3) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. BUCHI A DREAM (7) could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track after she was well back on straightening. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
