GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with K's Charlotte and Masano Lily leading the charge. MOMENTUM SHIFT (1) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run and a bold showing is expected. KEY SERVER (6) missed the frame two back in tougher company then tackled an easier race more recently when a 0.8 lengths winner over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and is among the leading chances. PASSION MARE (5) finished fourth last start over 1500m at this track, an improvement on her first-up 11th at Kyoto Dirt the run before. Well placed and in the mix. EVER WIND (10) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in a more suitable affair scored by a neck over 1500m at this track. Better effort last time and can feature on that form.
