GOING: G

Race 5 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Strong tempo assured from T O Emerald and Tonchan leading the charge. T O EMERALD (3) is still a maiden after 10 runs and despite that was well fancied last time but couldn't quite get over the line, finishing a close third over 1700m at this track. Has a good association with Genta Ochiai with a run of five top-three results. Among the leading chances. LOVE LEGAL (5) ran a nice race last time out over 1700m at this track, finishing fourth. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Key runner. ACTIVE TAILOR (4) finished fourth last time out over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Among the chances. FLOWER LEGEND (8) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing fifth at her latest appearance over 1700m at this track. Leading prospect on best form.
