GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Strong early pace from Narita Awayuki and Kutsuwa Family pushing forward, along with Silver Bliss from out wide. LADY DIVA (9) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1400m at this track. Sure to run well again. KUTSUWA FAMILY (2) was below his best last time when ninth over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely and can feature. CAN I SING (10) showed good early dash and raced on the speed at the first run back from a break last start before fading to finish back in tenth over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three claims if anywhere near her best. SILVER BLISS (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.
