GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Summer Spirit, Griffon and Allez Claire all possess good speed. SEGANTINI (2) finished second last time out over 1200m at this track, making it three career minor placings. Goes well at this journey with three minor placings to her credit. Among the top chances. SUMMER SPIRIT (9) is yet to break through after five career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Hakodate two starts back when resuming before finishing seventh over 1200m at Hakodate last time. Likely to be about the money. CUISINIERE (15) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish third last time over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has a strong finish. Big chance to break through. GRIFFON (13) fought on for third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
