GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace only with Libellula leading Wonder Cheer. NISHINO MIGNONNE (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was seventh over 1400m at this track. Fitter and anticipating a better run this time. COEUR ET CASSIS (2) finished sixth at this track and distance at her last appearance five months ago. One of the genuine hopes in the race fresh. M O DREAM (5) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when sixth over this journey at this track. Suitably placed and in the mix. LIBELLULA (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Has ability so worth following up.
