GOING:

Race 10 1230m

Track:      

Strong tempo from Anya Wakuwaku, Rapida Nina and Otembamusume. Anya Wakuwaku, Rapida Nina and Otembamusume can set a strong tempo. RAPIDA NINA (1) strode forward early from her wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by a neck at this track over 1230m. Form here at this journey is very good with three wins from five runs. Well placed and should be in the finish again. OTEMBAMUSUME (2) recorded yet another minor placing last time out, finishing second over 1400m at this track. Handy draw will assist and among the leading chances. ANYA WAKUWAKU (11) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent despite the wide draw. Shinjo Kaisei stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. One of the contenders. NEVER TAP OUT (3) was responsible for a better run last start when sixth over 820m at this track. Suitably placed and out in trip can turn things around.
