GOING:

Race 12 1230m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Jo Lono and Do Anything leading the way over Wonder Classy. MARINA SUNRISE (6) won her maiden four starts back and is ready to salute again after a string of recent placings, the latest when second over 1230m at this track. Takanori Nagai sticks. Should be in the finish. PURE COLOR (9) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1230m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Hard to beat. CIAO BAMBINA (3) was disappointing last start when eighth over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up and can do a lot better. ORIENTAL MERAK (4) improved last start to finish third over 1230m at this track. Well placed to feature in the finish.
