Race 5 1230m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace strong with Siena Queen and Snowday pressing forward and Exsperion kicking up from the inside alley. EXSPERION (1) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1230m at this track at his latest appearance. Has a strong record here at this journey. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Best figures should see him run well. SIENA QUEEN (2) showed good early speed and led throughout to score over 1400m at this track. Shinjo Kaisei stays on. Expecting a bold showing. ROMIHI (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. SNOWDAY (6) started this preparation with a win then couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
