GOING:

Race 6 800m

Track:      

Early speed assured from Mother Favor, Preparense and Ryuno Ardern locking horns ahead of Caladbolg. JUNIPER DANCE (7) is a genuine type with five minor placings from seven starts this prep. Continued the trend last time out when third over 800m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. MOTHER FAVOR (2) returned to winning form last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over this journey at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins and two placings. Among the leading chances. RYUNO ARDERN (10) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by 4 lengths over 900m at Kawasaki. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. QUEEN'S HAPPY (8) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when fourth over 800m at this track. Yujiro Tanabata who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Must be respected.
