GOING:

Race 6 850m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from Araucaria and Escher. VIORNA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Funabashi, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. VANDERBILT (5) won at this track and distance at his last outing 11 weeks ago. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. LILY CORRER (8) resumes in a similar race to her last run 11 weeks ago when fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Has found the right race and is worth including. SHIGERU ALEGRIA (9) finished seventh at this track and distance at her last appearance 11 weeks ago. Worth plenty of thought.
