GOING:

Race 1 1200m

Track:      

Expecting Lalatina to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. ARABIAN PALACE (1) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on May 6 over 1200m when he scored by a neck. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. LALATINA (4) went forward last start over 1300m at Urawa and held on well for second, beaten a neck. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MUSICIENNE (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at Kawasaki. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. PRINCESS CHIARA (9) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Scored over 1200m at this track at the start of last prep. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
