Maiden Race 1400m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo expected primarily from Luna Cacao and Tana V Hachi Turbo. Race with a long tail. AQUA EYE (4) made a strong late bid only to just miss as favourite last start over 1400m at Hanshin. Will derive great benefit from recent racing. Nicely placed in this shallow line-up to play a major role. TANA V HACHI TURBO (18) went forward over 1400m at this track last time and held on for second. Can cross and take up a prominent position again. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings, and is sure to play a big role. ARABIAN JOY (1) did her best work late to finish third at a huge quote at her latest appearance at this track over 1400m. Good signs last time and cannot be dismissed. LUNA FIORE (16) finished 3.5 lengths away in ninth at her last appearance over 1600m at this track on May 2. Likely to be thereabouts.
