GOING:

Race 5 800m

Track:      

Rouge Rouge and Narino Biscuits can be prominent. NARINO BISCUITS (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by a head over 900m at Kawasaki. Will prove very tough to beat. O SHIN RUSH (2) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing ninth over 1500m at this track four months ago. Goes well when fresh including a win and one minor placings. Nicely placed and sure to go well. MY LITTLE ROMANCE (1) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 800m at this track, an improvement on her eighth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. EARTH MELODY (10) was beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh at the second run back from a break over 900m at Kawasaki last time out. Should be thereabouts this time.
