GOING: G

Race 3 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Sunadokei. BRIGHT BEGINNING (2) was an impressive winner last time over 1500m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 5 lengths. Going well and should give a bold sight again. PILINA MAANA (3) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a spell last start. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. PEACE OCEAN (5) returns from a spell of nine weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished 12th at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m when first-up last time in work. Well-placed and is among the chances. PRIYANKA (4) was beaten 1.75 lengths into fifth over 1400m at Urawa at her latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest.
