GOING:

JRA ULTRA PREMIUM SAKURA BAKUSHIN O CUP 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Sizzling pace from the outset from Wisteria River, Meisho Lanakila and Metal Spark locking horns ahead of Electric Boogie and Girls' Legend. FLAMINIA (1) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Has solid form at this course with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Credentials hard to fault. HUMMING (2) was safely held when resuming from a spell behind Christmas Parade in the G2 Shion Stakes at this track over 2000m, beaten 10 lengths into 11th. Finds a suitable assignment and can play a big role. ELECTRIC BOOGIE (3) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Fukushima but disappointed last time when sixth, beaten 4 lengths, at this track over 1800m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. GIRLS' LEGEND (6) finished third when resuming two runs back at Niigata then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 1800m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
