GOING:

Race 12 820m

Track:      

Rule Maple and Grand Lei Heart to take up the running at a strong tempo. RULE MAPLE (8) scored last start at Himeji over 800m after she was in the firing line on the corner. Is yet to miss the frame from seven starts at this distance, including five wins. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. GRAND LEI HEART (4) scored at this track last time out with 3.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1230m. Has four wins here. Should be prominent from the low draw. Best figures should see her run well. CLEE (10) did well to score at Himeji two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing second over 820m at this track, beaten a nose. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. NAMURA OLIVIA (1) was beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 1870m at this track at her latest appearance. Each-way chance.
