GOING: G

Race 9 800m

Track: GOOD     True  

Plenty of speed with Lumineux Fille, Viva Acapulco and Majutsushi Kaeru leading Tokki Hollett and Nova Via. LUMINEUX FILLE (1) is a 11-time winner who has been racing in great heart, beaten a nose into second last time out over 800m at this track. Races well here and is the testing material. MAJUTSUSHI KAERU (9) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 800m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Big chance once again. NOVA VIA (5) is a promising galloper who saluted at her only run last prep seven months ago over 1400m at this track. Record at this track is strong. Winning claims on best figures. VIVA ACAPULCO (12) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 1.5 lengths over 900m at Kawasaki last time out. Good record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from eight starts and cannot be underestimated.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 12 at this track on April 22 over 800m, nose behind A T Spica carrying 54kg at $1.50. The run before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track February 25 over 800m defeating Sun Pillar carrying 54kg at $1.90. Excellent winning chance with the help of an inside stall.
