GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Meisho Rosy to take up the running at a moderate tempo. HAKKYOI (6) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1300m contest at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to take this out. LUX CHERRY (10) was third last time out over 1300m at this track. Can go a couple better here. MEISHO ELEGY (2) started at $3.20 last time but could only manage seventh at this track over 1300m. Solid top-three prospect. A SHIN OTTIMO (7) improved sharply last time out to score by a neck over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Finds a suitable race and can go back-to-back.
