GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Flow And Rhyme. FLOW AND RHYME (8) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks after two solid runs during the maiden campaign, the latest a second over 1600m at this track. Should take a lot from that first preparation and is likely to feature. ALA GRACIA (17) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Raced just once last prep when she ran on powerfully to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Well placed and should be tough to beat. BELLAGIO WORLD (7) returned last time with a solid third at Nakayama over 1800m when he made late ground. Has the talent to figure prominently. NISHINO KOIBUMI (1) returns from a spell of four months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when ninth over 1600m at Nakayama. Definite top three chance on her best figures.
