GOING:

Race 5 1230m

Track:      

Expecting Spyware to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. SPYWARE (6) hasn't featured at his last two runs, the latest when 16th at Tokyo Dirt. Likely to feature back at this level. LILY HEART (3) took advantage of the good draw and raced on the pace last start before tiring to finish fourth over 1230m at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. FUKU MIAOLI (12) is a 13-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent outing over 1230m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. ATARIMAE (7) ran a better race last start, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
