GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Lunar Phase heading them off. LUNAR PHASE (11) turned in a fine effort to win by 2 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. TABEZAKARI (9) went back early from his wide draw over 1400m at this track last time but hit the line strongly to finish fifth. Will be getting home hard again. MIKINO OBOE (10) settled well back when 12th over 1500m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver. FUKU BELLE E (5) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1700m at this track. Capable of featuring.
