GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Pace genuine with T M Smack and Happy Gift pressing hard closely followed by Burquem and Bellagio Manami. T M SMACK (5) built on a nice third two starts back with success as favourite over 1300m at this track six-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Yukihito Nagata scored on her last time and retains the ride. Well placed and can score again. HAPPY GIFT (6) made it four minor placings in a row last start when third over 1400m at this track. Has good early speed. In the mix. KAIMANA ELEELE (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 1.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KURINO KAGUYA (3) was seventh over 1400m at this track at her latest appearance. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
