GOING: G

Race 4 1400m

Track: GOOD      

A strong gallop is likely with Little Lady and Azukichan taking up the running, closely attended by Presto Wonder and Majutsushi Kaeru. AZUKICHAN (7) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after two solid runs during the maiden campaign, the latest a fourth over 1400m at this track. Sure to have come on over the break and can break though here fresh. LITTLE LADY (9) went forward when resuming last start over 1400m at Kawasaki and held on well for third, beaten 4 lengths. Has the speed to overcome a wide draw. Has the ability to play a significant role. PRESTO WONDER (1) did little and finished 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at this track last start after being in the firing line on the turn, a less impressive effort than her fourth at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ODEN OPAL (6) could only manage to finish seventh, beaten 6 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.
