GOING: G

Race 4 1600m

Track: GOOD     True  

Good tempo expected with Yamanin Tremolo, Fortunate and Jolly Harmony rolling forward. FIRST MATE (9) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Ryo Fujita who has scored on him two times retains the mount and a bold showing is expected. YAMANIN TREMOLO (7) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1600m here, making it three minor placings in a row. Should camp just off the leaders. Likely improver with strong prospects. FORTUNATE (3) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 19 lengths over 2000m at this circuit when in the market. Should park just off the speed and has winning claims on best figures. FLOATING ROSE (6) ran below expectations last start, finishing 12th and beaten 20 lengths at this course over 1600m. Well placed to make amends.
