GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Stella Matutina to take up the running with Meisho Inuwashi and Classical Type close at hand. G T HAPPY (6) is ready to break through after collecting his 4th minor placing in a row last time over 1600m at this track. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is sure to be right there at the finish. MEISHO INUWASHI (1) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1600m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by one length after being prominent at the bend. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. STELLA MATUTINA (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. HIDENO BLUE SKY (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when seventh over 1600m at this track, beaten 14 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
