GOING:

Race 5 1000m

Track:      

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Ten Arion and Hakko Queen. HAKKO QUEEN (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths starting at $3.60. Likely improver with strong prospects. MIRAGE FLEUR (9) failed to figure again last time over 1000m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed this line-up and deserves another chance. SCHON SERENADE (5) is a five-start maiden who finished sixth at her most recent outing over 1000m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. Debutant COEUR DOUX (2) gets a positive jockey booking and could player a major role. Watch for any betting moves.
