GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Meisho Hakobune taking up the running ahead of Teleos Don and Yamanin Rivalry. MEINER SCHLAG (10) comes here off a last-start fourth over 1400m at this track. Ready to run well. MEISHO HAKOBUNE (4) finished third here two runs back but was less effective last time over 1600m at this track, finishing back in sixth. Expect a better run this time. OLAF (2) settled well back last time out before finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. One of the leading hopes. YAMASHO SHINE (5) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so she should be in contention again.
