GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Solid early tempo with Namura Michelle and Sakura Top Vip capable of leading the way. NAMURA MICHELLE (5) returns from a break of four months. Genuine performer last prep whose last appearance resulted in a second over 1600m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from the last campaign to this contest. REICHTUM (2) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Record at this track is strong and can be in the finish. HUNAWIHR (4) was far from disgraced when third last start over 1600m here after a win at this track the start prior. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. SAKURA TOP VIP (7) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when second over 1400m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run and can go on with it.
