GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo headed by Mahealani and Feerie Marc. FEERIE MARC (3) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track over 1400m. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. MAHEALANI (12) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing sixth over 1400m at this track 35 days ago. In the mix. PHERKAD (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a nose away in second over 1400m at this track. Can feature again. KURINO KAGUYA (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth over 900m at this track. Among the chances.
