GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. ARISTOLOCHE (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 20 starts. Was again denied last start when she found a couple better over 1400m at this track. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. NEMOPHILA (6) finished sixth over 1400m at this track at her most recent appearance on December 24. Expect her to play a major role. LADY GREY (4) improved last time out, finishing 30 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. H Yoshihara gets the best out of this nine-year-old mare. Likely improver with strong prospects. M O GENERAL (7) was beaten 16 lengths into fifth at the second run back from a break over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. Capable of featuring prominently.
