GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Looks a keen contest with Yamanin Lesedi and Mozu Reira Cocona pressing for the lead with Shadow Face and Smart Robert close at hand. SHADOW FACE (2) pushed forward from a wide draw when resuming last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish third over 2000m at this track. In the right race and is a winning hope. DURA LUNA (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MOZU REIRA COCONA (6) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 0.7 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. MY IDOL (9) stepped out on her debut over 1200m at Niigata eight weeks ago and finished seventh, beaten 3 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under her belt.
