GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Keen tempo with Lord Defeat and Osaki Wonder prominent. CHEERFUL VOICE (2) turned in a fine effort to score by 5 lengths at today's track and distance last time out to continue her outstanding recent form. Can go on with it. SAKURA MAU (5) lifted strongly to score last time with 1.75 lengths to spare over 1400m at this track, making it three on the bounce. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset and could prove tough to beat. OSAKI WONDER (9) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time out, leading for home before finding a couple better over 1600m at this track. Well-placed and expected to feature again. OCCITANIA (4) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better effort. Could be hard to beat again in this suitable race.
