GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

From the outside gate Danse Belle Reine can push forward and take up the running in the absence of a genuine leader. WESTERN AMIGO (10) raced on the speed when resuming last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. YAMAKATSU RUN AWAY (11) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1500m at this track when beaten a neck. Top chance. DANSE BELLE REINE (12) finished midfield at her first run back from a spell last start over 1400m at Kasamatsu when well supported. Will be handy despite the tricky draw and is sure to be competitive. SHINE A LIGHT (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth over 1700m at this track. Can bounce back.
