GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track:      

Legendize and Accolade to take up the running at a genuine tempo. RAISE SUNRISE (4) was prominent from the outset and fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LEGENDIZE (2) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ACCOLADE (7) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest over 1200m at Fukushima after she travelled towards the rear of the field. Much easier this time and can play a much more significant role. AIROSO (8) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth. In the mix.
