GOING:

Race 6 1580m

Track:      

Little early speed on offer so Best Romance should be prominent. LICHFIELD (4) took on JRA level when resuming then ran a better race and finished fifth last time out at this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. BEST ROMANCE (6) finished third over 1400m at this track two back then was solid again in fourth last time out. Will drift back but wind up late. Great chance to get off the mark this time. MAPLE GLORY (1) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Placed here two back and draws to advantage. SEMPREVERDE (3) draws well and could measure up with her best form.
