GOING:

Race 10 820m

Track:      

Fiorino, Narita Bull Hawk and Smart Ciel to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. FIORINO (8) was an impressive winner last time over 820m at this track, leading throughout and putting 4 lengths on her rivals. This is her optimum trip with three wins from four starts and is sure to go well. WONDER COLORFUL (6) improved last start but found one better over 820m at this track. Suited here and can tale this out. MEINER KAGURA (3) last raced on April 16 when sixth at this track over 1230m. Nicely placed to bounce back. SMART CIEL (7) ran a better race last start, finishing fifth over 820m at this track. No surprise to see her in the mix here.
