GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

Horizon Blue should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. HORIZON BLUE (6) improved last start to finish third over 1500m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to find winning ways. MEISHO MISS ICHI (4) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Capable of playing a major role on her best form. BALLET DE LAPIN (8) worked home well and finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1500m at this track, an improvement on her sixth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. RIKO CRUSADER (9) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 5 lengths, at this track over 1500m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
