GOING: G

Race 7 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Pace strong from Locus Marianne going forward with Sakaben Queen kicking up. FAST FLIGHT (3) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance eight months ago. One of the genuine hopes in the race. LOCUS MARIANNE (9) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant win over 1200m at this track to make it two in succession. Keita Nishi who has two wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. SAKABEN QUEEN (1) was an impressive winner last time here, leading throughout and putting 2 lengths on her rivals. Worth including. RIKO HAMMERLI (10) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start at this track when well supported. Should be in the finish. Can feature with the right run.
