GOING:

Race 12 820m

Track:      

Fiorino and Devil Shizukachan possess good early speed. FIORINO (8) finished 1.5 lengths back in third over 820m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Distance specialist with seven wins and 10 minor placings from 22 runs and should be in the finish. PINK MARVEL (11) held on well to finish second last time out over 820m at this track after leading for much of the way. Expected to measure up again. DEVIL SHIZUKACHAN (6) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 820m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. A SHIN CONPA (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at Saga over 1400m. Well placed and can play a prominent role.
