GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Kevin's Cross booting up on the fence to hold the lead. PIENA FALLA (9) was out of the money last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. MANA FLUGEL (3) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. AOBANO KISEKI (8) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest effort a tenth over 1500m at this track six-and-a-half weeks ago. Winning rider Taiga Kurihara gets the best out of this four-year-old filly and is back on board. Look for an improved run. CRYSTAL GOLD (5) returns after a spell of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track and is among the better hopes fresh.
