GOING: G

Race 7 800m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting Lumineux Fille to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. LUMINEUX FILLE (2) returns from a break of five months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 800m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. MIRACOLO ECLAT (5) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at Kanazawa over 900m. Had plenty on her rivals last time and will go close again. BLACK EMPIRE (6) ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 800m at this track. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. ETERNAL WIND (3) missed the frame last start over 1000m at Funabashi, finishing eighth. Well placed and can feature in the finish this time.
