GOING:

Race 5 820m

Track:      

Good tempo anticipated with Tamago and Bellagio Masaki leading the way. TAMAGO (1) returns from a spell of ten months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished eighth at Niigata Dirt over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Sure to prove tough to beat. BELLAGIO MASAKI (7) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 820m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. RAVENSARA (4) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 820m at this track then fought on gamely to finish second. Likely improver with bright prospects. COEUR ET RAIJIN (5) has three placings from six runs this preparation and last start finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in third over 820m at this track. One of the main contenders.
