GOING:

Race 1 820m

Track:      

Without a recognised leader, Techno Happy and Nishino Mignonne will likely set the pace. NISHINO MIGNONNE (1) did a good job last start to finish second at this track. Drawn ideally and is a strong winning hope. SEIUN EMPRESS (6) finished fourth last start here, an improvement on her tenth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TECHNO HAPPY (4) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish fourth. Worth including. CAVALLI ALTI (11) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at this track. Solid top-three hope.
