GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Miyabi Luna to take up the running at a moderate tempo. MIYABI LUNA (1) raced below her best last time when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 12 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. RENGANO KOBUTASAN (6) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fifth over 820m here last time. Outdashed but got home well and looks suited by the extra ground. Rates highly and expected to go well. SUN ALFIE (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 14 lengths into seventh. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PROBABLE CHANGE (10) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
