GOING: S

Race 2 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Expecting Teruken Yumikazari to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. MCMURDO (10) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1200m. Can go a couple better. MY LA GRACE (9) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished eighth at her last appearance over 1200m at this track on February 13. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. MAD CRAPS (2) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track when sixth. Nicely placed to break the maiden status. KUNINO LIFE (11) was solid on debut last start when fifth over 1200m at this track on March 14. Should be competitive.
