Gold Rikka to take charge ahead of Kitano Hikoboshi at a strong tempo. GOLD RIKKA (5) held on well to finish second last time out over 1600m at this track after leading for much of the way. Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. MBURI MUGOBOKA (7) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to find winning ways. DIA KIRARA (3) finished 5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in distance today. Can play a big role. SHIBANO TEN TEN (6) won at this track two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing sixth over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
