GOING:

Race 6 850m

Track:      

Just a moderate tempo headed by Nong Lom, Kurino Brise and Varuna. NONG LOM (5) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Scored over 850m at this track at the start of last prep. Rates highly and should take some beating. ROBERTA CARINA (10) went to the paddock after scoring at her last appearance 11 weeks ago over 850m at this track. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. VARUNA (6) finished fifth at this track and distance at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims. YUKINO MATSUSHIMA (4) finished sixth over 850m at this track at his most recent appearance on December 31. Makes plenty of appeal.
