GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Quintarelli. TANABATA (7) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1500m at this track. Winning rider Masaaki Ohata retains the mount. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. QUINTARELLI (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth over 1500m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. NO MORE WORDS (6) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance three-and-a-half months ago over 1500m at this track. Among the better hopes fresh. WIN AZALEA (8) is having her second run back from a break after she failed to threaten first up over 1500m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming. Top three prospects.
