GOING: G

Race 10 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo anticipated with Lila Kiitos leading the way. QUEEN'S MONT BLANC (7) built on a nice third two starts back with success as favourite over 1400m at Kasamatsu three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length. Soichi Kato scored on her last time and retains the mount. Stepping up a level this time but on current form she is good enough to take this out. LILA KIITOS (4) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by a neck over 1500m at this track as favourite. Top chance again. SEIUN PIKAICHI (8) turned things around last start and got the job done by one length over 1500m at this track. Capable of another big performance. SANTA MARTINA (9) is a 22-start maiden finding it tough to win but has been in the placings at her last two runs, finishing third most recently over 1400m at this track. Drawn out but does go back and work into her races. Can feature in the finish.
