GOING: G

Race 4 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Reasonable tempo with Lien Beach probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. LIEN BEACH (11) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1400m after being in contention on the corner. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BLACK AZULADA (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when seventh in a 1400m contest at this track five weeks ago. Nicely placed to get the prize. RAINBOW CIRCLE (1) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 7/03/2025, finishing 11th and beaten 15 lengths over 1400m at Kawasaki. Settles back early but winds up late. Among the main hopes. JACK ROUGE (10) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in fifth over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see him in contention.
