GOING:

Race 2 1600m

Track:      

Pace a scorcher, headed by All's Fair, Yuyu Starry and Mume, closely followed by Floating Rose and Coconut Garden. ALL'S FAIR (14) resumed over 1600m at this track last time out and finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and will strip much fitter for this. Ready to find winning form. FIRST MATE (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when eighth and beaten 9 lengths over 1600m at this track. Ryo Fujita who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Should be in the finish. COCONUT GARDEN (10) finished fifth at this track and distance at his last appearance four months ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect. REGINA TIARA (6) turned in a fair race when resuming then improved second up to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Fair placing record at this longer trip. Should be ready to show best.
