GOING:

Race 9 820m

Track:      

Mikazuki Kanemitsu, Peisha Tsune and Vent Saisonnier all possess good speed. VENT SAISONNIER (3) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 820m at this track at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. LILY OF THE HEART (2) broke through for her maiden win over 1230m at this track last time. Drawn well close to the inside and she cannot be underestimated. DEVIL SHIZUKACHAN (7) is backing up quickly after a dominating victory at this track only 6 days ago, leading throughout for a 1.5 lengths success. Form here at this trip reads three wins from four starts. Capable of a big run. MIKAZUKI KANEMITSU (6) has been kept fresh since finishing 11th over 820m at this track five weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be thereabouts.
