GOING:

Race 8 850m

Track:      

Rich Aroma is expected to lead at a keen tempo. CALLUNA VULGARIS (3) resumes in a similar race to her last run ten weeks ago when she scored by 1.75 lengths. Has ability and should be right in the finish. RICH AROMA (10) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 850m at this track. Yet to miss the placings here at this trip, including two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. YUKINO MATSUSHIMA (4) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 850m at this track. Definite top-three chance. IDIOM (7) is back from a spell of ten months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 850m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt.
