GOING:

Race 7 1700m

Track:      

The speedy Maiden's Prayer should find the front with Lux El Dorado and Color Dress on her heels. MAIDEN'S PRAYER (8) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish third over 1500m at this track. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. LUX EL DORADO (7) finished fifth last time out over 1500m at this track when first up from a spell. Steps up in distance today. Takahiro Imai who has two wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. IBUSHIGIN (5) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when tenth over 1500m at this track. Likely improver. KAFUJI LIBRA (9) last raced on September 4 when fifth at this track over 1500m. Should be competitive.
