GOING: S

Race 1 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

Genuine tempo with Immaculate leading the way. IMMACULATE (9) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1300m at this track when second, beaten a head. Promising type with improvement to come so he should be in the finish again. MELA (2) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing when prominent at the corner, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. PRIMAVERA (5) resumes from a nine weeks spell and looked close to a win before the break, starting favourite and finishing third at this track. Re-unites with Shoya Hozono. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. SENETSUNAGARA (6) was beaten 8 lengths into sixth over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
