GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Visu Iijan and Bordeaux Capucine. VISU IIJAN (1) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1300m at this track when second. Will strip fitter and can get the win. LA LUNE (4) finished half a length from the winner in second in a much better run last time at this track over 900m. Well placed and is a major contender. NANGOKU II NET (2) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth over 1300m at this track. Can play a significant role. PATRASCHE (6) finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 900m at this track after she was well back on straightening. Should be about the money.

Second run back. First-up after five months made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on December 7 over 1300m, 6 len behind Lily Bennett with 55kg at $1.60. Previously second-up 10th of 16 at Kokura on July 6 over 1200m, 8 len behind A Shin Diamant carrying 55.0kg at $13.70. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
