GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Strong early pace from Platinum Ribbon, Longing Mama and Kamino Hyperion, with Magical Wave and Singer's Ballade on their heels. PLATINUM RIBBON (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a head away in second over 1300m at this track. Rates a top chance. LONGING MAMA (4) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a much-improved run. No reason she cannot salute again. SINGER'S BALLADE (1) finished third here two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1300m at this track, finishing sixth. Has his share of ability and finds a suitable race. SAY NOTHING (5) missed the placings last time out when eighth over 1300m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
