GOING: S

Race 2 1600m

Track: SOFT     True  

This will be a keen early contest, with Ai Mi Hai Tea, Derma Abisetaoshi and Scintillio prominent. DERMA ABISETAOSHI (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 4 lengths away in third over 1600m at this track. Will again be prominent from the outset. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. AI MI HAI TEA (11) took advantage of a low draw last time and led throughout, saluting by one length over 1600m at this track. Tsubasa Sasagawa sticks. Among the leading chances. TRANSCENDENTAL (12) did a great job of scoring by 7 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SOPHIA COR (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into ninth over 1600m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. Include in all combinations.
