GOING:

Race 9 850m

Track:      

Expecting Up Tempest to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. UP TEMPEST (1) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance ten weeks ago. Hard to knock her form prior to the break and she'll go close if she can resume in similar touch. LITTLE SISTER (9) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at this track. Should be hard to stop. LILY CORRER (7) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 18/12/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 850m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims. BRAVE JEANNE (10) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Funabashi, beaten 5.5 lengths into ninth. Capable of featuring prominently.
