GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

There should be a bit of early pressure with Y S Chocolat and Ginza Top Lady going forward in advance of Toyo Ryuo and Gambarile. GINZA TOP LADY (4) was far too good first up last start when she scored by 3 lengths over 800m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is the testing material. Y S CHOCOLAT (3) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 800m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. GAMBARILE (7) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 800m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TOYO RYUO (1) resumes in a similar race to her last run three months ago when seventh. Has to be respected.
