GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Mana Moana to take up the running at a moderate tempo. MANA MOANA (1) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Likely to prove tough to beat. HANDEN LAURIER (3) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Likely to be right there at the finish. HIKARUNO KIMI (2) has been safely held at his three starts but they have come in much tougher company at JRA level. Much better placed this time. It wouldn't surprise to see BORDEAUX MADELEINE (4) figure in the finish this time.
