GOING: G

Race 10 1000m

Track: GOOD     True  

Reasonable tempo with Yamano Pretty probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. NOIR PARFAIT (3) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by one length over 1000m at this track. Major player. UNICORN WHALE (10) finished adrift in sixth last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CILANTRO (1) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led until they straightened, eventually finishing fourth over 1000m at this track. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and three minor placings from six runs. One of the main contenders. AIGA IPPAI (6) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1000m at this track. Yuki Miyauchi has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Among the top-three hopes.
