GOING:

Race 1 920m

Track:      

Lovely Ship should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. LOVELY SHIP (9) resumes after a break of eight months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 920m at this track. Can return in winning form. RUKO BEAUTY (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 920m here after being in the firing line on the turn. Has her share of ability and is hard to beat in this suitable race. HER RED SHOES (5) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this circuit over 1400m. Can measure up again. NISHIKI VIVRAVIVRE (2) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 35 lengths into seventh at his latest appearance over 1400m at this venue. Draws well and shapes as one of the better hopes on best form.
