GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track: AW     True  

Lookism has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. LOOKISM (4) found plenty to salute by 2.5 lengths three runs back at Kanazawa before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. DERE DIVA (3) did her best work late to finish third at big odds at her latest appearance at Kawasaki over 1500m. Good signs last time and can feature in the finish. MARKET MAKE (2) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1400m contest at this track by a neck. Can give this a shake. COPANO AMANDA (9) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 11 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
