GOING:

Race 12 820m

Track:      

Kurino Nina is the likely leader at a slick tempo. TECHNO EXPRESS (7) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by a head at today's track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. AOYU STAR (10) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at today's course and distance when first-up from a spell last time out. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. ASAKA LOVE LOVE (8) proved too strong last start and scored by a nose over 820m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Should be poised just off the lead. Winning claims on best figures. POMME (12) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished tenth over 1230m at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Can feature in the finish.
