GOING:

Race 7 850m

Track:      

Expecting Cincinnati to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. TIME OBSERVER (6) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 850m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CINCINNATI (10) strode forward early from her wide draw over 850m at this track last time, leading for much of the way before being claimed in the straight to finish second, beaten a nose. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. AGAT (3) was below her best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths over 1300m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. JEANNE NO TSURUGI (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 12 lengths into ninth over 850m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
