GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Frost City, Subarashii Hibi and Malts Schon to control the tempo. AGNES SANKI (8) remains a maiden after eight starts but is well fancied in this field. Last time out she attracted plenty of support and, after racing prominently on the turn, finished fifth. Looks ready to bounce back and could be hard to hold out. MALTS SCHON (6) showed plenty of early speed from a wide draw last start and led for much of the journey before fading late. Will be tough to reel in if he can maintain that pace. FROST CITY (4) improved into third over this track and distance last time after being prominent on the bend and is nicely placed to challenge again. SUBARASHII HIBI (7) was held last start but can feature prominently from this draw.
