GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Pace strong with Calling Me and Josho Make leading with Mutabilis nearby. JOSHO MAKE (5) finished fourth last start over 1300m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. MUTABILIS (3) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 9 lengths back in fourth over 1300m at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. CALLING ME (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1300m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute. BELLE VIOLETTE (8) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2 length win at this track over 1300m. Winning rider Naoki Kimura stays aboard. Deserves respect.
