GOING: G

Race 2 1000m

Track: GOOD     True  

Expecting a strong gallop with Poporon and Lightness taking up the running over Next To You. LIGHTNESS (3) remains a maiden after five starts but has been showing steady improvement. She ran a solid fourth last start over this track and trip and should be prominent from the outset this time. Looks set to play a major role in the finish. SHIZURI (10) was competitive last run but fell short, finishing fourth. Well placed here and with a chance to break through, she is worth following. STAR OF SKY (2) missed the placings two starts ago but improved last time to finish just two lengths away in fourth after being prominent on the turn. Nicely drawn and suited here, expect a big performance. LADY CUTIE (1) disappointed last start when finishing seventh but is well placed to make amends in this assignment.
