GOING: G

Race 5 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Strong pace from Noble Sieg, Nac Sirius and Michino Didi, with Ethos and Yoshino Is Coming on their heels. NOBLE SIEG (1) has three minor placings from three starts this time in work, the latest as favourite over 1600m at this track. Nicely drawn so gets his chance to break through. ETHOS (5) returned from a spell last start as a winner, taking out a 1200m contest here by 1.5 lengths. Looks to have an edge on most of these. MICHINO DIDI (8) was in the placings again last time when beaten 1.5 lengths into second over 1400m at this circuit. Has been in the money at all five starts at this course and is one of the main contenders. NAC SIRIUS (10) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and led into the straight before faded out of it, finishing fourth over 1800m at this venue. Worth including in the exotics.
