GOING: G

Race 10 2000m

Track: GOOD      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Love And Happiness and Twenty For kicking up to hold out the next wave. SOPHIA CROWN (4) did a great job to score by 6 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she can get the job done. TRIGLAV (3) started at $4.10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths at Urawa over 2000m. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the class to figure prominently. LOVE AND HAPPINESS (9) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 3 lengths last time out over 2000m at Urawa. This doesn't look as hard so she is sure to prove hard to beat. TWENTY FOR (7) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Looking to emulate her win at Urawa when returning from a spell last prep. Can make her presence felt.
