GOING: G

Race 12 2000m

Track: GOOD     True  

Crystal Nikita and Nishino Soregashi to stride forward and take up the running. CRYSTAL NIKITA (2) showed good pace over 2000m at this track last time and went on to score by 0.8 lengths. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute again. MEISHO CLARK (9) was in the firing line on the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 2000m here. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SOYAMISAKI (3) ran a strong race last time out over 2000m at this track, finishing third and only beaten 0.8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. COSMO PANDORA (7) produced a better run last start, finishing fifth over 2000m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
