GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Adorabile, Last Princess and Cat Tail. AS YOU LIKE (4) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 1.4 lengths when fourth over 1600m at Hanshin three weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. LEON PRIME (9) was narrowly beaten at a huge quote last time out, finishing second over 1600m at Hanshin. A repeat of that last effort puts her right in this. ADORABILE (14) was in the money two starts back at Kyoto then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1600m at Hanshin. Should be parked just off the speed. Solid top-three chance. VOIE LACTEE (16) has been freshened up since she finished sixth over 1800m at Niigata seven weeks ago. Better than last start and is a chance in this line up.
