GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Saphir Ciel, Frosted Rose and Afro Prince will not hold back as they vie for the lead from A Shin Mosir and Inazuma Line. AFRO PRINCE (8) was fresh from a five months break last start and scored by half a length at this track. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. A SHIN MOSIR (14) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1200m at this track. Has the speed to overcome a wide draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. SAPHIR CIEL (6) landed her maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 3 lengths. Winning rider Ryo Fujita stays aboard and she cannot be discounted. FROSTED ROSE (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
