GOING:

Race 4 1700m

Track:      

Keen speed battle, with Earth Blue, Vega Emerald and Wise Portia prominent. VEGA EMERALD (3) won her maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by a neck. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and she can go on with it. EARTH BLUE (4) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when second over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. S CLASS (1) performed above expectations last time over 1600m at this track, finishing one length from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should be involved in the finish. ALBA SOLE (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 8 lengths over 1200m at this track. Masaaki Kuwamura sticks. Among the top-three hopes.
