GOING:

Maiden Race 1600m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Arugam Bay and Chiaramente pressing hard closely followed by Harmony Song and Fortem. SAISON DE FEUILLES (13) will find this a little easier than her second on debut three weeks ago, beaten 0.8 lengths at the end of 1600m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw but a big run is anticipated. CHIARAMENTE (12) finished second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1600m at this track on debut three-and-a-half months ago and has been kept under wraps since. Likely improver and is among the leading chances. FORTEM (9) finished third last time out over 1600m at Nakayama, making it two career minor placings. Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on two occasions. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. NOBLE LINER (1) was narrowly beaten into third when second up last start at this track over 1600m. Progressing well so don't underestimate.
