GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Fukufukutenten, Ivy Genie and Twinkle Jazz primarily. SMILE FELIZ (2) did a great job to score over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. BEL BALT (8) will take a lot from that last hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. CLIPCLOP (12) remains a maiden after nine runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time but after being in the firing line on the turn could only manage to finish sixth. Expected to feature in the finish this time. FUKUFUKUTENTEN (11) recorded yet another minor placing last time out, finishing third. Yet to win at this distance but has recorded six minor placings so she is among the main chances.
