GOING:

Race 2 1000m

Track:      

Seiran Makfi should lead at a keen tempo. FULL VOGUE (4) returns after six-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 2000m at this track. Has ability and can threaten fresh. SCALLOP PEARL (8) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Nagoya then was safely held last time out when 12th over 1400m there. This doesn't look as hard and look for a bold run. STORY TIME (2) finished 14th over 1200m at this track at his most recent appearance on November 11. Looks a strong top-three prospect. SEIRAN MAKFI (7) closed last prep five-and-a-half months ago when she finished 11th over 1000m at this track. Strong top-three chance.
