Maiden Race 1600m Track: FIRM |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A solid tempo is on the cards with Erika Biarritz and Artillery pushing for the lead ahead of Kimigahama and Flaring Berry. ERIKA BIARRITZ (5) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1600m at this track when second, beaten 2 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. EFCHARISTO (9) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Leading player again. BAOBHAN SITH (14) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start when she did her best work late but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. FLARING BERRY (15) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into eighth over 1600m at Tokyo. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
