GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Pace looks genuine from Meisho Kofude, Raifuku and Fukurai Kirishima, closely attended by Brianza. RAIFUKU (7) impressed last time with a 2.5 lengths win at this track over this journey. Has a formidable record at this journey with two wins and two placings from five starts and is expected to be in the finish. MEISHO KOFUDE (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1300m at this track. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. BRIANZA (9) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time over 1300m at this track. Sure to run well again. SHOW VESALE (3) was safely held last start when 11th at this track. Has claims if she can reproduce her win at this track two starts back.
