GOING: G

Race 11 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Strong tempo with Raziation, Misty Lilac and Emmelina leading the way. RAZIATION (4) led throughout last time over 1500m at this track and scored a comfortable win. Winning rider aboard again and expected to go very well. CARTE MAITRESSE (6) is a distance specialist who made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at Urawa. Won't find this as tough and is a big chance to get the prize. TSUKASA REVS (12) finished third at this track over this distance at his latest outing. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts five wins and four placings. Should be competitive again. EMMELINA (5) is back at the races for the first time since December 13. Scored over 1600m at this track to launch the last campaign and must be respected.
