GOING:

Race 8 820m

Track:      

In a small field either Fiorino or Canna Lily will find the front. CANNA LILY (4) did a great job to score by 7 lengths over this course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Tomohiro Yoshimura gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. FIORINO (2) continued the great form last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths at this track over today's trip. Leading player. MEISHO KORAN (1) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 820m at this track. He has a commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and has to be included. LAST TICKET (3) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 820m at this track. Best figures measure up and another honest run can be expected.
