GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Sunday Mirage. MATILDE (2) is a 21-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 1300m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time, and has a great chance to break through. SUNDAY MIRAGE (10) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when third over 1300m at this track. Has the gate speed to negate a tricky draw. Bold showing expected again. RINEN DAISY (6) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth over 1300m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. QUEL AMOUR (1) was out of the money two runs back, then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
