GOING:

Race 5 820m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Scarlet Honey leading from Kurino Nina and Yamaichi Lovely. KURINO NINA (2) went forward last start over 820m at this track and held on well for second, beaten half a length. Ready to win and expected to go close. EZE VILLAGE (5) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 820m at this track. Steps up a level but she is good enough to take this out. FIVE REYNA (9) finished fourth last time out over 820m at this track, only beaten 0.9 lengths. Has a sound record here and a bold showing is expected. SCARLET HONEY (7) lines up for the first time since December 18. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
