GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace from Specialight and Feria Flores matching motors with Aubade close at hand. FERIA FLORES (6) held on well to finish second last start over 920m at Nagoya, beaten a nose. This doesn't look as hard so she is a leading player. AUBADE (2) was far from disgraced when third last start over 1580m here after a win at this track the start prior. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. MARU RIN MONROE (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth starting at $2.30. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. CROSS RATE (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and worth plenty of thought.
