GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of early pressure primarily from Bellagio Miki, Healing Art and Justin Yuji. BELLAGIO MIKI (8) is a genuine type with two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 1400m at this track after she was prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CROWN OCEAN (9) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second and beaten a neck. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. EIYU SWEET (11) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out here, finishing third and beaten a neck. Likely improver with top-three prospects. MEISHO AKATSUKI (3) also holds serious claims on best efforts.
