GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track: AW     True  

A stack of early pressure, primarily from Live Garnet and Edono Smile. GLORIOUS ZOSMA (11) turned in a solid fresh performance last start when a minor placegetter over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has a strong second-up record, including a win and two minor placings, and should be better for that first-up run. Worth following up. MERMAID SONG (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1400m at Kawasaki. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. RING BELL GIRL (3) returns from a spell. Finished ninth at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep three-and-a-half months ago. One to consider. WIN FLANDRE (12) was beaten 4 lengths into fifth in a 1400m contest at Kawasaki last time out. Well placed to bounce back.
