GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Not seeing a great deal of early speed on the map. NOBEL PRIZE (9) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MEISHO EIKO (10) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. The engagement of Shuji Akaoka is a positive move. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DANON PUPPET (2) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 12th over 1400m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so she is a major player. KEY FLASH (5) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing in eighth. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
