GOING: G

Maiden Race 2200m

Track:      

Piena Fevre is the likely leader and should be able to get there comfortably. PIENA FEVRE (8) filled yet another minor placing last time when 3 lengths adrift in second over 2200m at this track. Placed at six of seven runs to date included five from five at this circuit. Not much depth here and should be breaking through. PREMIER SORTIE (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. MEINER AURUM (1) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 2000m at this track. Solid top three prospect. TAKAMINOGAKOI (12) missed the placings on debut two runs back then didn't feature last start when 5.5 lengths away in 11th over 1800m at Tokyo. Can do a lot better.
