GOING: S

Race 9 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

The speedy Locus Marianne should find the front with Nichirin and Yukino Grace on her heels. NICHIRIN (11) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when fifth. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. LOCUS MARIANNE (9) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 1200m, beaten a head. The testing material. HEARTHFIRE (1) recorded yet another minor placing last time out, finishing second over 1200m at this track. Drawn to enjoy the run of the race so he is a leading contender. HO O RANGER (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Holds each-way claims on best figures and is worth keeping safe.

Going well. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 14 at this track on June 3 over 1200m, 6 len behind Neo Megami carrying 56kg at $4.50. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on May 13 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Atami Seiko with 56kg at $8.10. An inside barrier is a big advantage. Winning prospects.
