GOING:

Race 2 1700m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Smile Kei leading Davay Cantique. SMILE KEI (2) was rewarded with her maiden success last start, scoring by 3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed and she is sure to go well. DAVAY CANTIQUE (5) ran well below her best last time over 1700m here, finishing seventh at $3.10. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run and feature in the finish. LINKS LILY (1) did her best work late to finish second when unwanted in betting at her latest appearance at this track over 1000m. Good signs last time and cannot be dismissed. HANA AYAME (4) has been safely held at her last couple of runs, the latest when 16th over 2200m at Nakayama. Worth another chance at this level.
