GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely with Ai Yo Ivy and Hills Queen matching motors. TSUKIMI MUSUME (8) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 900m. Nicely placed to go a couple better. AI YO IVY (7) last start finished fifth over 900m at this track. Has recorded two top-three finishes from six runs at this venue. Among the top chances. SHINE DESIGN (5) finished fourth at her last appearance over 900m at this track on March 30. Expected to feature in the finish this time. KASHINO BLOSSOM (2) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this circuit. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
