GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Lucero Azzurri is the likely leader at a keen tempo. UNDER THE LIGHT (12) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1400m at Tokyo. Racing extra well but can't find the win. In the right race today and is a key runner. BERLINETTA (2) is back at the races for the first time since March 23. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Nakayama. Capable of playing a major role. ANTI JAMILA (10) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Tokyo, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the corner. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SOUND LIEN (3) turned in another moderate effort last start when 11 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt at the second run back from a spell. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
