GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Meisho Uzumasa and Something Great possess good early speed and will battle for early honours. Grade 3 placegetter MEISHO UZUMASA (2) has been out of the placings in tougher races at his last two outings, the latest when eighth in stakes class in Listed grade at Tokyo Dirt. Will find this easier and he can bounce back. KAZU MCALLEN (5) finished fourth last time out as favourite over 1400m here. Best figures stack-up and is a chance here. SOMETHING GREAT (3) finished back in eighth over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win when resuming from a spell two runs back. Winning claims on best figures. MONCH (9) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished eighth over 1400m at this track. Should be about the money here.
