GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Solid pace from Tagano Hasu Binah with Daishin Ares and Bellagio Hope also pressuring. TAGANO HASU BINAH (1) resumed last start over this trip at this track and scored by 1.3 lengths. Yet to be beaten here, scoring five wins from as many starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. TOSHIN HANA (6) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.75 lengths over 1400m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and this looks well within her grasp. LADY PEGASUS (3) did a great job to score by a neck over today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. JOSHO TYPE (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 5.5 lengths back in fourth over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
