GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Slechtvalk has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. LUSOFONIA (9) made it two victories in a row when she led throughout last time over 1400m at Kasamatsu and scored a comfortable win. Has the speed to overcome the draw and should prove tough to beat. SLECHTVALK (7) has done a good job to finish second at this track and distance at both starts to date, last time, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should be at her peak now. Can go on better. CASA MILA (3) is going well with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Continued the trend last time out when third at this track after she was always up in the leading division. Expect another big run. GOLD SIRKA (1) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start, beaten 3 lengths. Go well.
