GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Mizuiro Hortus and Reef Aquarium can burn across from wide out and set a strong tempo. ALA GRACIA (5) finished third, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track after she was prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to play a major role. REINE LIEBE (15) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1400m at this track. Best form puts her right in this. TAIYONO KISETSU (9) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MIZUIRO HORTUS (14) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing sixth over 1200m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Sure to make her presence felt.
