GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

In a race without an obvious leader, either Catch Me Cry or Dona Casamiento can roll them along. CATCH ME CRY (6) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start looked in need of the run. Plenty of scope for improvement and is a great chance to break through. WHITE OPAL (3) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing 11th over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Will appreciate this easier company and is worth another chance. DONA CASAMIENTO (1) also returns in easier now after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign over 1400m at Hanshin. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. T M LONG DAN (4) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 13 lengths when 11th over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Should progress from that last outing and poses a threat.
