GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Secret Matter and B B Pickett leading from Malibu Pine. B B PICKETT (1) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at her last four starts, most recently scoring over 1500m at this track. Can go on with it. SECRET MATTER (3) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Looks likely to feature. SEVENTH STREET (5) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Kazuo Fujigasaki. One to consider. MALIBU PINE (7) latest effort was a sixth when second-up over 920m at this track. Fitter and can fill a top-three spot.
