GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Salt Mill. SALT GREEN (4) was never really in the hunt last time, drifting back early and winding up sixth over 1400m at this track. Has enough ability to test this field. MORINO LEON (3) missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1400m at Nagoya, finishing sixth. Has the class to put the recent run of form behind her. MBURI MUGOBOKA (1) did little and finished sixth over 1400m at this track last start. Cannot be discounted. SALT MILL (7) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish back in seventh over 1400m at this track. Worth including.
