GOING:

Race 5 820m

Track:      

Solid tempo headed by Maruno Mizuki and Vip Nadja. VIP NADJA (8) finds it hard to win with just one success from 35 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 820m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. MARUNO MIZUKI (5) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was in contention on the corner before being beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 820m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. UNICO (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 820m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. BLUE DESIRE (4) was beaten 6 lengths into sixth over 1230m at this track at his latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest.
