GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

High-pressure contest with Elenora, Califia and Sei By Luck crossing from wide draws. RED OPAL (4) promising filly who last start finished 2 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Jumps up in journey today and expected to feature. CALIFIA (9) went forward when resuming last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second. Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. ELENORA (10) scored last start at Kawasaki to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Should be involved in the finish again. MIYAGI SIRIUS (5) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by half a length over 1400m at this track. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and she can measure up again.
