GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Small field in which Madonna Lily can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. EISEN WAND (1) did his best work late to score by 4 lengths at the most recent appearance over 1200m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Right in the mix again. MATTERHORN (2) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a second at this track over 1200m when he was beaten one length. Great chance to finally return to the winners' circle. SOFFIARE (5) scored two back at Kasamatsu but was below his best last time when ninth over 1000m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating bounce back to form. MADONNA LILY (3) gave a bold display over this course and distance last time, leading until the final stages and finishing fourth. Worth including.
