GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely with Sammaru Elegance, Escarcha and D Fanks prominent. SAMMARU ELEGANCE (6) resumes in a similar race to her last run ten weeks ago when she scored by 4 lengths. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. KEN WENZEL (8) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 1400m at this track at his last appearance on December 29. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Best form puts him right in this. D FANKS (11) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Yuichi Saito. Finished 12th at Tokyo over 1400m at the opening run last time in work. Worth plenty of thought. ESCAPADE (10) finished third at this track and distance at her last appearance ten weeks ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
