GOING:

Race 6 1230m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely with Charmy Eyes, Meiner Pointer and Tamano Luna prominent. QUEEN OF LILY (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1230m at this track last time, getting there by 1.75 lengths. Has a low draw and another bold showing is expected. CANDY LEI (9) lightly raced galloper who has been well held at both runs this prep. Could only manage fifth last time out over 1870m at this track. Strips fitter and looks a great chance to break through. O NET LEO (4) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished ninth over 1400m at Himeji. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. TAMANO LUNA (10) showed early speed from a good draw last time and battled on to finish tenth over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
