GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Shinatsuhime and Alma Viva look to take it up. MOW (3) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. ESTETICA (4) opened this prep last start with a second, beaten 6 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has sound form here including a win and four minor placings from seven starts. Leading player. SWEET DREAM (7) gave away a considerable start over 1400m at Kawasaki last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Solid top-three prospects. SHINATSUHIME (8) finished 8 lengths from the winner in fourth at her most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect her to finish closer.
