GOING:

Race 3 820m

Track:      

Madam Ladybug to take up the running at a moderate tempo. RYUNO HINAKO (6) turned in a fair effort at this track over 1230m at her last run three-and-a-half months ago, finishing fifth. Looks a winning chance. NINEN E GUMI (4) settled well back and failed to live up to expectations over 820m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Nicely placed to turn things around. MADAM LADYBUG (9) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 820m at this track. Rates highly on best figures - can do much better. BLUE DESIRE (11) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 820m at this track after he got a long way back in the run. Good enough on his day and can fill a top-three spot.
