Race 7 1400m Track: |

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

Genuine tempo with Mehrangarh leading the way. SMART LEVAIN (2) struggled in a far tougher race two back but last time did much better in more suitable company when a head away in second at this track. Sure to go well on best form. ASPIRACION (6) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Himeji. Expect him to play a major role. EKVATOR (7) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Bold showing expected. STAR OF ADAM (8) finished fourth over 1400m at Himeji at his most recent appearance on March 10. One to consider.
