GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Feliz Navidad and Awesome Shadow are both expected to press forward and take it up. AWESOME SHADOW (10) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 1500m at this track. Has to overcome a tricky draw but expect another big run. LUMINOSO (3) was well in commission last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 1500m at this track after he got a long way back in the run. This looks a nice race so expect him to be in the finish. MONT SAINT FREESIA (1) broke through for her maiden win over 1500m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run and she is one of the main chances. AIZUWAKAMATSU (11) turned in another moderate effort last start when tenth over 1500m at this track. Can turn things around.
