GOING:

Race 4 820m

Track:      

From the outside gate Milk Alpha No can push forward and take up the running in the absence of a genuine leader. MILK ALPHA NO (12) ran on strongly only to just miss last start over 800m at Himeji. Going well and has winning claims. CHOGOLISA (5) missed the frame last start over 800m at Himeji, finishing ninth. Won't find this as tough so she is set to turn things around. A SHIN REEL (10) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth when resuming from a spell last start over 800m at Himeji. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. FUKU HUALIEN (2) took advantage of the good draw and raced on the pace last start then boxed on well to finish second over 800m at Himeji. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out.
