GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Pink Southpaw to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. KANADE RIDE (2) scored at this track last time out with half a length in reserve at the end of 1300m. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and two minor placings from eight starts. Top chance again. PINK SOUTHPAW (9) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh starting at $9.60. Hiroki Yamashita gets the best out of this three-year-old filly. Nicely placed to bounce back. IPPEISOTSU (6) ran a better race and finished fifth last time out over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to feature. GOOD HORSE (1) was never really in the hunt last time, drifting back early and winding up tenth over 1400m at this track. Can feature in the finish on best.
