GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Trill and Flanking Line up front. FLANKING LINE (1) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 4 lengths. Is a winner at this circuit. Should run well. MEISHO MATILDA (9) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at this track over 1500m on May 12. Form this track is hard to knock with three wins from six starts. Will prove tough to beat. SASAKIN TOMOGORO (10) won his maiden four starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when third over 1400m at this track. Commendable record at this trip with a win and four minor placings and shapes as a key runner. POD BELLO (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver who should be about the money.
