GOING:

Race 11 820m

Track:      

Pace a scorcher, headed by Into The Flow, Miyabi Arc and Fiorino, closely followed by Kiss Umai and Bakuretsu Maho. FIORINO (6) was fresh from a four months break last start and scored by a neck at this track. Has five wins here. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. KISS UMAI (3) scored by 4 lengths last start over this journey at this track. Is unbeaten in three starts at this course and distance. Among the leading chances. INTO THE FLOW (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless 6 lengths win over 820m at this track. Shunya Hasebe has been the pilot at her last four wins. Sure to be competitive. A SHIN REPNI (4) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time over 820m at this track. Likely to be about the mark again.
