|---|---|---|---|---|

Good tempo anticipated with Sound Evoke and Eclair Brillant leading the way. DAIMEI OTOHIME (7) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 6 lengths as favourite over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SOY JAGUAR (4) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Looks well placed and she cannot be underestimated. SOUND EVOKE (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1800m on March 6. Sure to make his presence felt. IRON ROMAN (9) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when third over 1750m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
