GOING:

Race 2 800m

Track:      

Ukiyono Messiah and Vina Lao Cai possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. POWER MAGIC (2) is a 12-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 2 lengths away in second over 800m at this track. Well placed and should go well again. VINA LAO CAI (6) resumes after a break of six months. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 800m at this track. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SHINANO AMBER (7) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished eighth at her last appearance over 800m at this track on May 29. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. OPAL GREEN (1) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 800m at this track. Has ability and is worth including.
