GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track: DIRT   Fine    

Aletta Gerodi has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. RYUNO DAIMONJI (1) ran third at his latest appearance over 1500m at Nagoya, clocking in 4.5 lengths from the winner. Sure to prove tough to beat. ALETTA GERODI (8) showed early speed from a good draw last time and battled on to finish sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Rates highly and expected to go well. KING PROTEA (9) disappointed last time over 1400m at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Forgive last start, definite chance. MEISHO KODACHI (2) was below her best last time, finishing seventh over 1400m at this track. Has a win and two placings at this journey from five starts and is too good to ignore.
