GOING:

Race 7 1000m

Track: SOFT     True  

Expecting Light Veil to take up the running with Antenna Last and Copano Stephanie close at hand. LIGHT VEIL (3) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing fourth over 1200m at this track on November 1. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. ANTENNA LAST (4) returns after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1100m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. DIA CRYSTAL (8) settled well back when tenth over 1500m at Nagoya five weeks ago. Rates a hope. ANIMAL FRUITS (2) is back at the races for the first time since October 26. Scored over 1000m at this track at the start of last prep. Has to be respected.
