GOING:

Race 4 900m

Track:      

Expecting Burgeon Forth to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. EVELYN TESORO (2) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at today's track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. COIN (3) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at this circuit to kick off the last campaign. Has found the right race. BURGEON FORTH (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m here, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. The engagement of Shoma Kanayama is noteworthy. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to turn the recent form around. GURENNO ARASHI (9) last raced on April 18 when beaten 8 lengths into eighth at this venue over 1400m. Good enough on his day and can fill a top-three spot.
