GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Les Deux Roses, Operculicarya and Lala Blossom can establish a strong tempo despite the small field. LAST HONEY (3) settled well back last start and never threatened when in seventh over 1400m at Urawa. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. OPERCULICARYA (4) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1000m at this track 12 weeks ago and has not appeared since. Promising type who can go back-to-back. LES DEUX ROSES (1) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1000m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Sure to make her presence felt again. LALA BLOSSOM (5) showed good early speed over 1200m at this track last time and went on to salute by 5 lengths. Among the top-three contenders.
