GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Grand Rose leading from Snow Sound and M T Estate. M T ESTATE (9) nice return last start when runner-up at this track over 1400m on November 26. Sure to run well. GRAND ROSE (5) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by a neck over 1400m at this track. Yuta Yamada has been the pilot at her last two wins. Bold showing expected. WORKING ASSET (3) made it four minor placings in a row last start when third over 1400m at this track. Well placed this line-up and can feature. TROIS VALLEES (8) is a three-year-old colt who has just one minor placing to his name in eight starts. Failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last start, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Solid contender in this lineup.
