GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

In a race without an obvious leader, either Bright Melody or Yeux Noirs can roll them along. BRIGHT MELODY (9) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished seventh over 1400m at this track. Has ability and deserves another chance. AFFIRMATIVE (4) failed to figure last time over 1400m at this track when sixth. Backmarker who gets home hard. Solid contender. MACHIDANO CHIEKO (2) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 10. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. YEUX NOIRS (7) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
