GOING: S

Race 5 1600m

Track: SOFT      

Pace a scorcher, headed by Valencia Snow, Sky Is Yours and Yoshino Rose, closely followed by Honu and Cosmo Conquest. SKY IS YOURS (14) lifted strongly to score last time with 1.3 lengths to spare over 1600m at this track, making it three in a row. Expected to cross from wide out. Will prove tough to beat. SORBET (8) is back from a break of ten weeks. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent at this track over 1600m. Keita Nishi has been the pilot at her last two wins. Bold showing expected. YOSHINO ROSE (7) went forward last start over 1600m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 2 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. COSMO CONQUEST (13) jumped from wide out last time out when easily accounted for in fifth over this track and trip. Has a wide gate again. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Deserves respect on best figures.
