GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Genuine tempo anticipated with good speed engaged. HO O JULEP (1) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1700m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with nine wins and four minor placings from 19 starts. Big chance once again. HAKUSAN TSUKIMITEI (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1900m. Has the speed to be prominent from the outset and anticipating another big run. TANTUM (8) finished third here two runs back but was less effective last time over 1500m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Faces an easier assignment so she is a major player. CASSADAGA (2) improved last start but found one better over 1700m at this track, only beaten a nose. Can feature.
