GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong early pace from Grass Vigor, Lovely Sign and Mozu Yuiyui, with Mufti and Ridere on their heels. MOZU YUIYUI (3) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in easier did much better when third over 1400m at this track. Rates strongly in this similar company and should feature again. MARENKA (6) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders. GRAND PRIX SHIP (10) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1400m at this track. Expected to be there at the business end. LOVELY SIGN (7) has been out of the frame at her last couple of runs, last time finishing back in 11th over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Better placed in easier and worth including.
