GOING:

Race 6 820m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Wonder Colorful, Nishino Mignonne and Madam Ladybug to control the tempo. WONDER COLORFUL (8) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 820m at this track. Likely improver. YASHIRO SMILEY (1) was never in contention when tenth in a 1400m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Look for a better run. NISHINO MIGNONNE (9) finished fourth last start over 820m at this track in an improved run. Nicely placed to take this out. YAMANIN PHILIA (10) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1230m at this track. Finds a nice race and can feature.
