GOING: S

Race 1 900m

Track: SOFT      

Genuine pace with Grand Mermaid finding the front from her low draw. SOUND PRIMO (4) finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 900m at this track after she was prominent at the corner. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. GIGANTOMACHIA (9) was never in contention last time over 1600m at Tokyo when he finished seventh, beaten 16 lengths. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. GRAND MERMAID (2) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 900m at this track last time. Drawn for a good run on the speed and is capable of figuring in the finish. YOMII (12) could only manage to finish tenth, beaten 13 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
