GOING: S

Race 9 900m

Track: SOFT      

Plenty of early pressure from Vip Regius, Trust Gerbera and Dona Noble battling for the lead over Cherie Amour. BRAVE JEANNE (5) is racing well without being able to break through, the latest effort a second over 800m at Urawa a week-and-a-half ago. In-form five-year-old mare so a big run is anticipated. TRUST GERBERA (9) got the job done last start at this track over this distance after she was in the firing line on the bend. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from four starts. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. VIP REGIUS (1) was well in commission when resuming last start over 900m at this track when second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Has a solid record here at the distance with five wins and three placings from 12 tries. Should be involved in the finish. ISOE VIKRANT (8) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by 2.5 lengths at this track and trip when resuming from a break last time out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
