GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Scarlet Honey to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. MEISHO MATSURI (6) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when one length away in second over 1400m at this track. Big chance to break through. YUNA PINK GOLD (1) fitter for recent racing and looks close to a win after finishing second over 1400m at this track last time. Rates highly and should be right in the mix again. SCARLET HONEY (2) is close to breaking through with three placings from three starts this campaign, last time out finishing second over 1400m at this track. Sure to be competitive. MIND YOUR RHYTHM (5) produced a better run last start when fifth over 1230m at this track. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
