GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

Flor Dorada, Yugure and Shibano Ten Ten can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. FLOR DORADA (8) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1000m at this track after being in contention on the corner. In the right race and is a winning hope. SANTA ANA WIND (2) was never in contention last time over 1800m at Fukushima when she finished eighth, beaten 8 lengths. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. YAMANIN L'ALLIANCE (10) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing 12th and beaten 22 lengths starting at $7.40. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TIMELESS (7) finished 6 lengths away in sixth at her last appearance over 1200m at this track on August 6. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
