GOING: G

Race 2 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Little early pressure with London Blues, Tosen Eve and Siesta Key prominent. SIESTA KEY (5) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CHIANG MAI ROUGE (8) last appeared four weeks ago over 800m at this track when she finished second. This is her first run for the Katsufumi Suzuki stable. Solid chance for the new barn. TOSEN EVE (1) did her best work late to finish third at very long odds at her latest appearance at Kawasaki over 1400m. Good signs last time and can feature in the finish. HELLO TO YOU (4) last appeared when she finished 12th over 1400m at Kawasaki on May 6. Sure to make her presence felt.
