GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Nanyo Lark, Bouvardia Rose and Miyano Quinley leading the way. NANYO LARK (2) raced on the speed and kept going to score by half a length last time out over 1400m at this track. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. BOUVARDIA ROSE (4) scored at this track last time out with 3 lengths to spare over today's journey. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and a placing. Among the leading chances. NISHINO GAWAIN (3) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on February 12 over 1300m when he scored by 3 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MIYANO QUINLEY (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
