GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Meisho Itamae to take charge ahead of Win Vertex at a solid tempo. WIN VERTEX (8) finds it hard to win with just one success from 19 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. SAN MOUSQUETAIRES (1) didn't fire over 1600m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEISHO ITAMAE (6) started at $2.80 last time but could only manage seventh, beaten 13 lengths, at this track over 1600m. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will give backers a great sight. FEEL MY WAY (3) was beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
