GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Abundant early pace from the speedy trio of Namura Ava, Eifer Raccoon and Flugel. REALISE REVE (10) has registered 11 minor placings from 17 runs this preparation. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 1500m at this track after she was handy all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. NAMURA AVA (11) was quickly into stride over 1500m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by 2.5 lengths. Should cross from wide out and can build on that solid recent effort. MEISHO KOMUSUBI (1) started at $7.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth at this track over 1500m. Nicely placed to turn things around. FLUGEL (9) showed good speed and fought on for second over 1700m at this track last time. Katsuki Niwa who has two wins when partnering stays on and the pair deserve respect.
