GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Exosome and Mio First leading the way over Taiko Faith. EXOSOME (6) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 5 lengths over today's journey at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including six wins and six placings. Top chance. A SHIN SCIPIO (4) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 0.8 lengths over today's trip at this track. Key runner. ONE OF US (7) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling in a rearwards position and failing to make an impact when ninth over 1400m at this track. Look for an improved run here. TAIKO FAITH (10) could only manage fifth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
