GOING: G

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Tiger Road and Mighty Kingdom pressing hard closely followed by Aqua Eye and Branch Out. AQUA EYE (11) is progressing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m. Settles close to the speed. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. MIGHTY KINGDOM (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. DANON BELLE VUE (13) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at this track over 1400m, beaten 3 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. HAPPINESS SUNRISE (16) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Chukyo, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat.
