GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Golden Gift. YAMANIN EPICURE (9) a flawless preparation came to an end last start when she finished fifth over 1600m at this track. Well-placed to make amends. ASIA NO KAIZOKU (8) has built a long sequence of minor placings, the latest a third over 1600m at this track. Sure to be about the money again. GOLDEN GIFT (11) ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth over 1600m at this track. The engagement of Ryo Kobayashi is noteworthy. Likely improver with strong prospects. SUN ENTUSIASTA (5) was eighth in a 1600m contest at this track two weeks ago. Toshiya Yamamoto gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Better than recent efforts suggest and worth including.
