GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Akiba heading them off. ACE AXIS (9) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 1500m at this track after she was well back on straightening. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TIAN (4) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when eighth over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. KNIGHT STAR LILY (8) improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. AKIBA (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip after she was in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects.
