|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by T M Smack. KURINO HONOO (4) won two in a row before back to earth last time out when third over 1400m at this track. Big chance to bounce straight back. KAYSERSBERG (10) broke through for his maiden win over 1300m at this track last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Jumps from a wide draw but he is a great chance to go back-to-back. SHONAN DADAN (9) started at $2.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at this track over 1400m. Among the top chances. T M SMACK (2) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1400m at this track. Yet to miss the placings from five starts at this circuit. Major player.
