GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Pace strong with A Shin Zeta and Fine Gift leading with Bom Dia nearby. BOM DIA (11) reunites with Yoshiki Yamada after scoring with ease over 1400m at this track last time. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see her run well. A SHIN ZETA (6) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Strong prospects. KAUILA (3) proved too strong two runs ago here but was less impressive last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance and has the talent to find the winners' list. FINE GIFT (7) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Anticipating another big run.
