GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace with Yamame Queen, Tantum and M T Waltz pushing forward, closely attended by J K Milimili and Sound Rocks. LA TRADICION (11) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when third, beaten 7 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but she can figure in the finish. SHOGA MATTA NASHI (2) form here strong boasting &NumberToText(#WPSCourse[w]#) wins from &NumberToText(#WPSCourse[s]#) starts. Best form puts #HimHer# right in this. VIVA ROSITA (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 4 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. The engagement of Shoma Kato is a positive move. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to cope. KNOW THE TRUTH (6) sure to prove tough to beat.
