GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Takeno Royal finding the front from her low draw. PIONIERE (5) was a gutsy winner last time over 900m at this track, scoring by one length to make it three wins in succession. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Leading contender. INTENSE DRIVE (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when ninth and beaten 8 lengths over 900m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MIRAIENO HANA (12) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 6 lengths when eighth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TAKENO ROYAL (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 900m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
