GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace from Crown Felice and Fleurs En Reve matching motors with Meisho Kofude close at hand. FLEURS EN REVE (10) should be peaking now after finishing second over 900m at this track last time at the third run of the campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. CROWN FELICE (9) is returning from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Finished fifth at Monbetsu over 1000m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Shinichi Higashi. Has found a suitable race and can take this out. GLACE PILEE (7) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1400m at this track when she was handy all the way. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ICHI THE AN (8) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third over 900m at this track. This looks a good race for her so another forward showing looks likely.
