GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Regnum and High Mobility up front. METUS (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1300m at this track. Should be prominent throughout again. BEAR ANGEL (2) was below her best form last time when finishing back in eighth over 1300m at this track. Seiya Tatara has a solid record aboard this four-year-old filly so sharp improvement will not surprise. REGNUM (6) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish ninth over 1300m at this track in a disappointing performance. Worth consideration. NORTH JUSTICE (4) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage 12th over 1300m at this track. Better than the last effort suggests and deserves another chance.
