GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Strong pace from Ai Cappuccino and Lowering Looks matching motors with Kitasan Beleza close at hand. LOWERING LOOKS (1) returns from a break of eight months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a sixth over 1200m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. MISUZU GRAND O (3) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish ninth over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. LUCKS AT THERE (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 1200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot return to winning ways. AI CAPPUCCINO (2) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished 12th at Funabashi over 1200m when first-up last time in work.
