GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Ric Main leading the way. RIC MAIN (5) failed to finish last start over 2000m at Sapporo after racing on the pace for much of the way. Expected to be in this for a long way. VIGOR SUNRISE (3) scored two back at this track but was below her best last time when sixth over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ANDERMATT (1) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1400m, beaten 0.8 lengths. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Sure to go well. AURORA LUMIERE (9) fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
