GOING:

Race 5 800m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Madam Ladybug probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. DANSUKE (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when ninth over 800m at this track three weeks ago. Nicely placed to get the prize. O SHIN CANDY (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 800m at this track. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. MADAM LADYBUG (4) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, last start over 800m at this track. Among the chances. NISHINO MIGNONNE (7) could only manage to finish seventh, beaten 6 lengths, at her latest appearance over 800m at this track after she was well back on straightening. Worth plenty of thought.
