GOING:

Race 12 850m

Track:      

Expecting Lady Tiara to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. A SHIN TORPEDO (6) scored by 4 lengths when resuming last start at this track over this distance after he was prominent at the corner. Form over this journey is strong, boasting four wins from eight starts. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. LILY CORRER (5) led throughout last time over 850m at this track and scored a comfortable win. Should be prominent again and is a leading contender. LADY TIARA (1) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Ohi when she finished second. This is her first run for the Yuichi Saito stable. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. CRI D'AME (8) showed good early dash before weakening to be beaten 13 lengths into sixth over 1000m at Funabashi last time out. Can sneak into the finish.

Comes off a 52 day let-up. Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 15 at Ohi on February 19 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind World Aim with 54kg at $13. Before that failed to make an impression; 6th of 13 at Ohi on January 28 over 1200m, 7 len behind Miracle Making carrying 54kg at $18.40. The inside gate is a real bonus.
