GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Kawaten Tiara should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. KAWATEN TIARA (10) turned in a fine effort to score by a nose at this track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. No reason she cannot salute again. BELLEZA FIN (7) raced below her best last time when sixth over 1400m at this track. In the mix on best. AOKAMI (2) was in contention on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BY MYSELF (9) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1700m at this track. Has a solid record at this circuit. Deserves respect.
