GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Usagichan leading the way. SUGAR MOON (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter and can break through. TSUKINO KOBUNE (10) performed well last start when second at this track over 1400m. Expected to be in the mix. MJUK THOMAS (7) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed last start then stuck on well to finish one length away in third over 1400m at this track. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. USAGICHAN (8) comes here off a break of four months. Scored over 800m at this track to launch the last campaign. Can make her presence felt fresh.
