GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Sun Plumeria probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. SUN PLUMERIA (4) is a eight-start maiden who was in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second at the latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. SAND CRUISER (3) comes here off a break of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work. Has found a suitable race. MONTEMAGGIORE (8) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MINT JULEP (2) had support when resuming last time out but never threatened when a disappointing ninth. Tomohiro Yoshimura stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Not to be discounted.
