GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Ric To Memma probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. FALCON VEGA (1) turned in a fine effort to score by 6 lengths at this course and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up run. Finds another suitable race and can maintain winning form. ADMIRE LEVIN (3) finished third as favourite last time out over 1300m at Mizusawa, making it two minor placings from three starts this time in work. He is a real danger. METEO QUEEN (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1300m at Mizusawa after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. WINKLE TIARA (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
