GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track: AW      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Fiamma Fulmine. RAZIATION (5) improved last time out, finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at Urawa after being prominent at the bend. Has the talent to take this out. FIAMMA FULMINE (1) went forward last start over 1500m at this track and held on well for second, beaten a neck. Will take advantage of the good draw. Taking on a better field but she is worth serious consideration. ORIKO D'ELEGANCE (4) returned from a spell five-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 8 lengths into eighth over 1600m at this track. Can improve here. SMASH THROUGH (8) turned in a modest performance when tenth last start over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten 14 lengths after a good first-up win at Funabashi. Looking to bounce back and can do so.
