Race 8 1400m Track: |

Meisho Intro should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. PLOVER (6) returned from a break last start and raced on the speed before kicking strongly to score by a neck over 850m at this track. Tatsunori Sugawara who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish. MEISHO INTRO (7) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 13 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can make her presence felt. DOUBLE STEAL (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then she got a long way back and was beaten 3 lengths when fifth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. WREATH AND RIBBON (2) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, at this track over 1600m. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Deserves respect on best figures.
