GOING: G

Race 7 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Slick tempo with Hakushin Dance to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. KUU LEI NANI (8) is back from a three months spell and she does run well first-up, including a win over 1400m at Kawasaki at the start of last prep. Will be tough to beat. HAKUSHIN DANCE (6) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can do it again. HAYAO (10) showed good speed and gave a sight when fourth over 1400m at this track last time. Should be prominent despite the wide draw. Shapes as one to consider. ORIENTAL MAC (7) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track. Well placed to turn things around.
