GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Hakusan Apple and Sand Blitz kicking up to hold out the next wave. BEST BELLE CHIC (6) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as favourite over 1400m at this track. Taiga Kurihara scored on her last time and retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. APOLLO MIRACLE (8) finished ninth two runs back at Sonoda then improved last time out to score by 8 lengths as favourite after being prominent at the turn over 1500m at this track. No reason he cannot salute again. CROSS AVANCE (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only one length from the winner at the end of 1500m. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. VERONIQUE (3) finished third over 1500m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Can sneak into the finish.
