GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Lots of speed predominantly from Ayrton Barows, Reef Aquarium and Royal Will. AYRTON BAROWS (7) will find this a little easier than his third on debut three weeks ago, beaten half a length at the end of 1200m at this track. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he should pay to follow. BERLINETTA (1) is yet to break through after six career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1200m at this track following a minor placing at Nakayama when fresh from a spell the run prior. Likely to be about the money. ROYAL WILL (8) finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out over 1400m at Chukyo on January 6. Has a high cruising speed. One of the main contenders. REEF AQUARIUM (15) stepped out on his debut over 1600m at Nakayama six-and-a-half weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 5 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.

Third-up today. Resuming 3rd of 16 at Nakayama on December 22 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Mixed Berries carrying 56.0kg at $10.30. Second run from a spell 5th of 18 at this track on February 1 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind C'est Sympa with 57.0kg at $5.20. Rates highly. Big chance.
