GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Strong pace from At The Hop and Exotic Girl pushing forward, along with Look For A Star. MIENO FAIRY (8) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing second and beaten only 1.5 lengths. Placed at her only try when second up. Ready to find winning form. ORGULLECIDA (7) was strongly fancied when third last time over 1800m at Tokyo. Kept fresh since the last run. Should run well again. TEN DREAM GIRL (9) started at $3.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at this track over 1800m after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. EXOTIC GIRL (6) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at this track. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
