GOING:

Race 4 800m

Track: AW      

Megu and Mother Favor to set a strong early tempo joined by Preparense pushing on from an outside draw. PREPARENSE (12) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 800m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. MEGU (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. MOTHER FAVOR (5) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished third at Kawasaki two starts back then landed the prize by half a length last time out over 800m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. JUNIPER DANCE (2) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 800m at this track when fresh from a break. Will drift back but wind up late. Must be respected.
