GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Slick tempo assured from Love Love Four and June Dragon leading the charge. MIKUNI SUNBEAM (8) produced a reasonable effort to finish 1.0 lengths away in third last start over 1200m here after a win on debut at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. LIME FLAVOR (2) is yet to miss the placings in two starts, including a win. Is at the races for the first time since he scored over 1200m at this track on November 8. Can play a major role. JUNE DRAGON (9) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1200m. Expected to cross from wide out and can feature. KITASAN YUJA (4) finished second last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing and is capable of another strong performance.
