GOING:

Race 12 820m

Track:      

Hot pace certain with Sound Infini, Vent Saisonnier and Devil Shizukachan keen to take up the running. ENA DRIVE (7) is racing with great purpose and has two wins on end, most recently getting home by 0.8 lengths over 820m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Best form puts her right in this. RIKO SUPER (11) finished second at this course and distance at her last appearance ten months ago. Has found the right race to kick off the campaign. DEVIL SHIZUKACHAN (8) lines up for the first time since February 5. Looking to emulate her win at this circuit at the beginning of last prep. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. JHANG MAGHIANA (10) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 0.8 lengths over 820m at this venue. Worth including in calculations.
