GOING:

Race 4 800m

Track:      

Expecting Charis Imon to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. CHARIS IMON (10) was well in commission last start over 800m at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Has a win and four minor placings at this journey from six starts and should be hard to stop. DAN STONE MUT (9) had been racing okay but she was safely held last time out when seventh over 800m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Will prove tough to beat. MAHNE FLOTTANT (1) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at this track but couldn't back it up last start when sixth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has the talent to produce a better result. RICERCATA (6) improved last start to finish third over 1000m at Funabashi. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
