GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Lovers Blue taking up the running ahead of Nihonpiro Kay and Nangoku Jacks. LOVERS BLUE (7) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at today's track and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Well placed and can repeat the dose. SHINY SAILOR (11) finished fifth last time out over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed and expected to go well. NIHONPIRO KAY (2) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running fourth at this track. Can do much better this time. NANGOKU JACKS (9) raced below his best last time when seventh over 1500m here. Drawn wide but has pace and can cross, can give a sight.
