GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Chant A Charm leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. MYR (9) did a great job to score by a nose over today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Going up a level this time but she can win again. HACHIKIN MUSUME (5) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by one length last start over 1300m at this track. Sure to run well again. CHANT A CHARM (1) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1.5 lengths at his most recent outing when third over 1300m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Should be involved in the finish. KANEKOME ASAHI (6) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and did win first-up last time in work over 1300m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
