GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Despite the wide draw Lien Solide should cross and set a genuine tempo. LIEN SOLIDE (10) did a good job last start to finish third at this track over 1400m, beaten 1.4 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Has been in the money at all four starts this preparation, including a win. Expected to be in the finish. WAKINO GLASS (6) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1400m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. RING BELL GIRL (2) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by a neck. Winning rider F Komaki retains the mount. Looks well placed so expect another big run. NARITA BONNY (11) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.
