GOING: G

Race 1 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting The Central to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. THE CENTRAL (3) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1200m at this track last time. Has a good record here at this journey. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Leading contender. PRINCESS DARK (4) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at Urawa last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Shaping up nicely and she should be in the finish again. PRINCESS CHIARA (10) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1200m after being in the firing line on the turn. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. SCREAM EAGLE (8) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job.
