GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Meijo Solid should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. HOKKO HANAMICHI (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. TOA NATALIE (3) started at $4.10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth at this track over 1300m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. CRACK OF DAWN (7) showed good pace and went on to score by 3 lengths last time out over 1300m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. MEIJO SOLID (11) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 1.5 lengths last time over 1300m at this track. Among the top-three contenders.
