GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Madame Fantasia to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. ENA FUKUKITARU (7) is shaping up nicely. Yet to miss the top three in two runs at this distance. Last time out finished second over 1400m at this track and can go one better here. MADAME FANTASIA (6) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1400m at this track in a tougher race. Has plenty of upside so she shouldn't be a maiden for long. WINNING LORE (8) was never in contention last time over 1400m at this track when he finished sixth. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. RICKEY MOON (5) could only manage to finish tenth at her latest appearance over 820m at this track after she gave away a big start. Out in trip and a better run is on the cards.
