GOING:

Race 9 1700m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Riko Mica booting up to lead. LILY PARK (10) ran another good race last time when second over 1700m at this track. Drawn out but should be in the finish again. RIKO MICA (1) was prominent from the outset when second over 1200m at this track last time out. Yamato Ishikawa is back on and is yet to miss the top three from five rides, including two wins. Best form puts her right in this. MIRAIE HOSHO (2) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1700m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed and anticipating a better run this time. YELLOW IRIS (5) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fifth over 1600m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
