GOING: G

Race 5 800m

Track: GOOD     True  

Dona Noble should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. PAS DE DEUX (3) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third when resuming last time out over 1200m at Funabashi. Likely improver with strong prospects. DONA NOBLE (8) showed good early pace over 1400m at Kawasaki last time and kept going to score by a neck. In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. LAGOON PRINCESS (6) broke through for her maiden win over 800m at this track last time. Shaping up nicely and she cannot be underestimated. POISON BOSS (2) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second. In the right race and is a winning hope.
