GOING:

Race 1 1200m

Track:      

From the outside gate Alma Rosario can push forward and take up the running in the absence of a genuine leader. SUN KAGUYAHIME (2) showed she has some talent on debut last start when she found one better at this track over 1000m. Should enjoy a nice run off the low draw. Expected to go on with it. CRY OF THE EARTH (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up and well placed here. ALMA ROSARIO (12) finished fourth when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Should be involved in the finish. MIDNIGHT BERN (11) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1200m at this track. Cannot be disregarded.
