GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

Expecting plenty of speed from Ville Yukihime, Grease and Poporon from Koyukichan. BELIEVE THE WEST (4) turned in an eye catching run last time when kept coming to finish third at this track. Suited at the longer journey and should feature in the finish. VILLE YUKIHIME (10) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 6 lengths away in sixth over 1000m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. OISHI SAKURA (9) is a 14-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs, most recently when 7 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. Sure to be in the mix again. RIPE TRAUM (5) settled well back then found the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over this journey at this track last time out. Can feature in the finish.
