GOING: G

Race 2 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo from Glorious Fill leading Beginning Dream. GLORIOUS FILL (3) returns from a break of five months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. TYPEFACE (9) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at Funabashi last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at this track the run before. Facing a tougher assignment but she is worth another chance. BEGINNING DREAM (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Kawasaki, finishing third and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 900m after being prominent at the turn. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a bold race. EXPLORE (1) was prominent into the straight last time but was claimed late to finish 5.5 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at Kawasaki. Expected to feature in the finish this time.
