GOING: FM

Race 6 1600m

Track: FIRM      

Genuine pace with Ryuno Tabuk taking up the running ahead of Logi Drefong and Dre Antheia. RYUNO TABUK (1) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on March 11 over 1500m when she got home by 4 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. DRE ANTHEIA (5) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when she was handy all the way over 1500m at this track. Worth noting Tsubasa Sasagawa goes aboard. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. LOGI DREFONG (4) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. BELLWOOD MIKASA (3) finished 43 lengths adrift in 11th last time over 1600m at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to bounce back.

Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 4 len win at this track March 11 over 1500m defeating Roi D'or carrying 54kg at $1.30. The start before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at this track February 14 over 1500m defeating Kenilworth with 54kg at $2.50. Rates highly. Big chance.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at this track on March 11 over 1500m, 1.0 len behind Meisho Kammuri with 54kg at $2.20. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on February 12 over 1500m, 2.5 len behind Meisho Kammuri carrying 54kg at $1.80. This is well within her grasp.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start 6th of 12 at Urawa on February 24 over 1500m, 5 len behind Chicago Fountain carrying 56kg at $5.30. Before that won by 0.5 len at Urawa January 8 over 1500m defeating Sun Dillon with 56kg at $4.40. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
