|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with Hernandez and Ric Main leading from Ho O Six and Heshikiri. LIVINGSTONE (9) broke through for his maiden win over 1800m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Shaping up nicely and he is likely to feature in the finish again. RIC MAIN (8) is back at the races for the first time since October 10. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Sure to make her presence felt. EIFER CAP (3) is a 24-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 1400m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. LAYER (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.3 lengths away in second over 1800m at this track. Hard to leave out.
