GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Two M Pixiu to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. RICKEY MACCHIATO (3) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 1500m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Leading player again. MORION (10) didn't do a bad job when third last start after being in the firing line on the corner over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. MATILDA (12) was in the money at this track when resuming two runs back then could only manage fourth at this track over 1400m three-and-a-half weeks ago. Should be parked just off the speed despite the draw. Solid top-three chance. GO ON PURPOSE (7) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing 11th over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Finds an easier assignment and is a winning chance on best form.
