GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Without a great deal of early pace evident Roi Champagne may lead the way over Mega Bazooka Lunch. GRAND FOLLOW ME (5) settled well back at this course and distance last time but did find the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths. Look for another barnstorming finish. SATONO CATHERINE (3) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish eighth over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to bounce back. ROI CHAMPAGNE (2) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at this track, finishing second and only a neck from the winner at the end of 1400m. The engagement of Katsuto Maruno is noteworthy. Best figures measure up and can run well. SAKURA TOP GOOD (6) did well last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only one length. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at this track on April 19 over 1400m, 6 len behind Yancha Pre Hime carrying 54kg at $21.80. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track on April 3 over 1400m, nose behind Bicorn with 54kg at $10.60. Mediocre effort last time out but this suits.
