GOING:

Race 11 1800m

Track: AW     True  

Solid tempo anticipated with Miss Carrera leading the way. KOA LIO (2) is a last-start winner over the shorter trip of 1600m at this track, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Nice weight drop so she is among the leading chances again. KIGASA (3) is a genuine type with four minor placings from six starts this time in work. Produced another good performance last time out when third over 1800m at this track after she was well back on straightening. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MISS CARRERA (4) was prominent at the bend but was disappointing over 1600m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Faces an easier assignment so she is a major player. A SHIN TURAN (8) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten a long neck into third over 1500m at Kawasaki. Should be in the finish.
