GOING: S

Race 5 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Plenty of pace from Taisei Marshal, M Lierre and Miami Fountain primarily. TAISEI MARSHAL (7) is racing well this preparation, including a last start win over 1200m at this track to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Should park just off the speed. Will prove tough to beat. RYUNO MCILROY (10) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep seven months ago over 1000m at this track. Has ability and should be right in the finish. M LIERRE (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at Urawa, beaten 2 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ARCELIA (4) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on 25/09/2024, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths over 1500m at this track. Has to be respected.
