GOING:

Race 12 2000m

Track: AW      

No place for the faint-hearted with Symboli Flash and Fort William getting along early. ANGE REI (8) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 2000m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. SYMBOLI FLASH (1) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 2000m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at Kawasaki at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Looks a strong chance. FORT WILLIAM (6) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 9 lengths over 2000m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. One of the main contenders. NO MORE WORDS (11) improved sharply last time out to score by 2 lengths over 2000m at Kawasaki two weeks ago. Solid top-three prospects.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 11 at this track on February 21 over 2000m, 4 len behind Garrett with 54kg at $3.50. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Funabashi on January 18 over 2200m, 9 len behind Permanente with 53kg at $15.10. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.
