GOING: G

Race 6 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Moderate tempo with La Valse leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. ABSOLUTE (5) got home by half a length last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. Top chance again. COMIC GIRL (2) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten half a length after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to find winning ways. LUCETTA (8) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish eighth over 1400m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest. LA VALSE (3) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at Urawa, beaten 2 lengths. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
