GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Rolling Rock. AMMITSU HIME (5) was a most impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 5 lengths. Stick with her. FESTIVE LET'S (1) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 1.5 lengths at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Major player. OKANO LOUISE (2) was never in contention last start when 11th over 1500m at Nagoya. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. SMART JUDY (7) produced another moderate effort last start when 12th over 1500m at Nagoya. Well placed to turn things around.
