GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Pasion Blond should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. CRACK OF DAWN (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Can feature. MEINER BORDERLESS (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m here. Can go one better here. PASION BLOND (12) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. The engagement of Seiya Tatara is noteworthy. Likely improver with strong prospects. RINNO LEGEND (2) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh here over 1400m. Anticipating a better run this time.
