GOING: S

Race 12 1500m

Track: SOFT      

Solid tempo anticipated with Mandarin Orange heading them off. MANDARIN ORANGE (1) is a boom three-year-old colt yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Had plenty in hand last time and looks the testing material again. REMENY SUMMIT (7) showed good early speed from the inside draw when fresh from a spell last time out, leading for home before finding one better over 1500m at this track. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. HECTO PRINCESS (6) finished 1.2 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1500m at this track, an improvement on her fifth at Urawa the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ON GLIDE PATH (3) was out of the money last start in fifth. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
