GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

In a race devoid of pace Win Lucifer may go to the lead. WIN LUCIFER (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Ready to win and expected to go close. PURPURITE (5) was in the finish last time when beaten a neck into second over 1400m at this track. Can break through here. MEISHO MANGETSU (2) finished sixth at her most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time. LOVE YOU SAKURA (3) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when seventh. Better than recent efforts suggest and worth including.
