GOING:

Race 1 1200m

Track: AW     True  

Storm Pegasus is expected to lead at a keen tempo. STORM PEGASUS (12) met with solid support last start over 1500m at Urawa when fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Strong winning chance. BOTAN BOUQUET (7) progressed nicely last time out when she worked home well to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. VINYL (10) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1000m at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. VICKERS (11) improved last start to finish third over 1200m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
