GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Confiserie and Royal Natal taking up the running over Rapunzel Moon. CONFISERIE (4) ran a bold race over this journey last time, leading for much of the way before fading out of it late to finish 0.7 lengths away in fourth at this track. Expected to measure up again. IVERAGH (6) is returning from a spell of nine weeks. Failed to finish at Niigata Dirt over 1800m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Isao Nagakura. Worth serious consideration. RISOLUTO (2) started at $8.60 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below her best, finishing fifth. Hard to beat in this suitable race. T K VINO (1) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she finished fifth over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
