GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

In the absence of noted leaders, Cinderella Smile and North The World may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. CINDERELLA SMILE (3) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1300m at this track. Generally goes well here. Will prove tough to beat. ELABORATE (8) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 1600m at this track a month ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Masayoshi Yamasaki scored on him last time and retains the ride. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role again. NORTH THE WORLD (5) was below his best last time when sixth over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHOW VALENCE (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 14 lengths away in tenth over 1600m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
