GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Festive Mame leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. DAZZLING TIARA (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 800m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. THUNDER PEKO (4) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when second. Has been in the money four times over this course and distance. Leading contender. GAKEPPUCHI (10) failed to feature last start, finishing sixth over 800m at this track. Among the main hopes out in trip. FESTIVE MAME (1) is a 29-start maiden who looks close to that elusive win after finishing in the placings at the last couple of runs, most recently when third over 1400m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Must be respected.
