GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Rosa Banksiae leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. JUSTIN BOLT (4) finished eighth over 1400m at Himeji at his most recent appearance on February 3. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. ROSA BANKSIAE (7) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Himeji. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MIRACLE ZADA (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ANEMOS ELPIDA (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
