GOING:

Race 4 1600m

Track:      

Marmelada has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. MARMELADA (2) lines up for the first time since November and is looking to emulate her win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Draws well and is likely to make her presence felt. MATCHAN FIGHT (7) got the prize two runs ago at this track then took on a stronger race last time out when sixth over 1600m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Finds a more suitable assignment and could get the job done. YLAMAA (3) was slid enough in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Draws well and has claims. VAN CLEEF (4) resumes and has switched to the Yuya Goto yard. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
