GOING:

Race 11 820m

Track:      

Strong pace with Ena Snow, Mutekino Harison and Namura Papi pushing forward, closely attended by Baishu and Mammaru. ENA SNOW (3) looks to kick off this prep the way she ended the last eight months ago when she scored over 820m at this track. Among the leading chances. WIN KAGUYAHIME (1) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1230m at this track. Will take catching again. NAMURA PAPI (6) failed to live up to expectations over 1230m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. EDEL RITTER (5) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when third over 1230m at this track. Well placed and can make amends.
