GOING:

Race 7 900m

Track: SOFT      

Strong pace with Kurino Florence booting up on the rail while Mitsukane Aries and Nakimushi Hikaru pressure. NAKIMUSHI HIKARU (10) has been going well this preparation, scoring last start over 900m at this track to make it two wins from four runs this time in. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Will prove tough to beat. POD DUKE (5) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and did win first-up last time in work over 1500m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. KURINO FLORENCE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 900m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MITSUKANE ARIES (12) ran a better race last start, finishing 4.5 lengths away in sixth over 1400m at this track. Has each way claims.
