GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

Meravigliosa to take charge ahead of Macedonia at a good tempo. MERAVIGLIOSA (2) is in sparkling form, scoring at her last three starts, the latest win coming over 1500m at Kanazawa. Had plenty on her rivals last time and will go well again. RIC TORAJIRO O (9) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently finishing third over 1200m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MACEDONIA (6) registered her maiden success three back but has missed the placings at the last two appearances, most recently when tenth over 1000m at this track. Capable of turning things around. NISHIKEN KING (7) was safely held when ninth last time out over 1200m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
