GOING: G

HAKATA STAKES 1800m

Track: MUDDY      

Tempo strong with Matenro Ales, Keiai Sena and Vamos Road pushing forward from their wide draws. JULIA BAROWS (2) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a neck from the winner in second over 2000m at Kyoto. Ideally placed to take this out. Grade 3 placegetter SEVEN MAGICIAN (4) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Hanshin 12 weeks ago. Sure to be right there at the business end. ARGINE (12) is a handy type who resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. At her last appearance she finished fifth over 1600m at Chukyo, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has an impressive first-up record including three victories. One of the contenders. KEIAI SENA (11) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing 11th at Niigata over 1800m after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
