GOING:

Race 2 850m

Track:      

There should be a bit of pressure with Araucaria and Courante pressing forward in advance of Luna Hermosa and Tora Ness Harp. TORA NESS HARP (4) 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 850m after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ARAUCARIA (3) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with success over 850m at this track a week ago, getting home by a neck after being in the firing line on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LUNA HERMOSA (10) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by one length over 850m at this track. Toshiki Yamamoto who has two wins when partnering stays on. Certainly one to consider. GOOD LUCK GIRL (6) turned in a fine effort to win by one length at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Finds another suitable race and can figure in the finish.
