GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Rosa Blu and Mint Julep. MINT JULEP (9) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest fifth at this track over 1400m. Likely improver who should be in the finish this time. MAESTRO LIGHT (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Gets back and needs some luck in running but can feature again. MEME NISHIKORI (6) finished fourth last start over 1400m at this track. Has ability and can measure up. A SHIN SALOMON (7) never got into the race when tenth last time at this track but drops in weight for this. Rates well on best form so don't underestimate.
