GOING:

Race 12 1230m

Track:      

Cracking tempo with Passion Prima and Devil Shizukachan leading the way. PASSION PRIMA (12) reunites with Tomohiro Yoshimura after scoring with ease over 1230m at this track last time. Has never been out of the money over this course and distance from four attempts. Among the leading chances. REINA BONITA (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1230m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. BRIGLIADORO (6) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and found the front, holding the lead for most of the way and sticking on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. Bold showing expected. DEVIL SHIZUKACHAN (10) is having her first run since February 5. Goes very well when fresh with three wins from six starts, the latest over 820m at this track at the start of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race.
