GOING:

Race 12 800m

Track:      

God Amavel and Ena Fukukitaru to take up the running at a strong tempo. GOD AMAVEL (3) is in sparkling form, scoring at her last three starts, the latest win coming over 820m at Sonoda. Kept fresh and expected to be in the finish. JUNE COMET (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 800m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. MINI FEUILLE (4) is having her first run since July 23. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from two starts, the latest over 1230m at Sonoda at the start of last prep. Key runner. BELLADONNA LILY (12) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.6 lengths adrift in third over 800m at this track. Good record at this journey with four wins and three minor placings from nine starts and should run well.
