GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Expecting Fukuno Lukka to lead Toa Natalie at just a moderate tempo. TOA NATALIE (2) led from start to finish last time out at this track over 1400m on March 26. Expected to take some running down again. FUKUNO LUKKA (5) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing second over 1400m at this track last time out. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. CANON WOOD TAIL (10) tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1400m at this track. Likely contender with strong prospects. REVERSIBLE LANE (4) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 0.8 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Sure to be thereabouts again.
