GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Jo Book Fiori to lead La Diva at just a moderate tempo. SOFFIARE (6) is fresh from a spell of four months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Nagoya over 1500m. In a different yard now and should be primed for this. REVE LIBERTE (2) was out of the money last start over 1400m at this track when fifth. Likely improver with strong prospects. JO BOOK FIORI (5) last start was back on September 22 when fourth over 1500m at Nagoya. Has since changed trainers and can threaten fresh. GOURMET (8) last start finished ninth at this track over 1400m after he got a long way back in the run. Placed to advantage so expect better performance.
