GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Fernanda should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. FERNANDA (6) is back at the races for the first time since February 10. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1500m at Kanazawa. Looks a winning chance. TOA RUDOLF (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1500m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PRINCESS SAKURA (11) travelled in a rearwards position and failed to live up to expectations over 1400m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. HOT EMPEROR (2) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter for that run. Capable of another bold effort.
