Maiden Race 1200m Track: FIRM |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
From wide out Curlicue and Marilyn Barows can set up a strong tempo. CURLICUE (16) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw last start and led for home before finishing second over 1200m at this track. Overdue for a win. Will take catching. MARILYN BAROWS (15) lifted strongly only to just miss last start over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Placed 5/5 so far including only try course and distance. Poised to win after a narrow defeat last time. LUX DREAM (3) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last prep with a sixth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Definite player. IVY MEOW (14) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
