GOING:

Race 5 1230m

Track:      

Good pressure from the outset with Arajai, Coin A Phrase and Quattro Fortuna taking up the running over Venice Queen and Oishi Shakunage. QUATTRO FORTUNA (11) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when half a length away in second over 1400m at this track. Great chance to break through. COIN A PHRASE (6) is still a maiden after 14 starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1230m at this track following a minor placing when fresh from a spell the run prior. Should be in the mix. SABUNO RAINBOW (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. WONDER ANGE (1) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Himeji. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
