GOING:

Race 5 800m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Aten Smile possessing enough dash to find the front. ATEN SMILE (9) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1230m at Sonoda only to fade late and finish fourth. Expected to be in this for a long way. DIGNITA (8) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 800m at this track. Rates highly on best figures. NISHINO KARIUDO (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 800m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. ELEGANT FLEUR (6) was in the money two starts back at Sonoda but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 12th, beaten 9 lengths, at this track over 800m. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
