GOING:

Race 4 820m

Track:      

Libellula to take up the running with Elegant Fleur and Les Ailes Noires close at hand. YAKUJIN MYO O (11) doesn't win out of turn but was in the finish last time when beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 820m at this track. Can break through. MODEL CHAN (3) finished sixth last start over 1400m at this track. Well placed and tough to beat if near her best. LIBELLULA (9) finished out of the money when seventh in an 820m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Best figures measure up. In the mix. FESTIVE LUCINA (12) made progress last time out, finishing third over 820m at this track. This looks a good race for her and is a solid top-three proposition.
