GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

No noted leader but Suooshima, Die Mutter and Deep Pleasant will be prominent. SUOOSHIMA (11) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1400m at Himeji. Looks the one to beat. M O BERRY (5) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track. Capable of playing a major role on her best form. MELOS (7) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just seven wins. Tasted defeat last start when finishing sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. SUN ALFIE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
