GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Pace strong from Yoshino Cattleya and Love Slender vying for the lead closely attended by Mon Cheval. SHINE RIPPER (5) missed the placings last start in fifth over 1400m at Himeji. S Kawahara gets the best out of this six-year-old entire. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HEALING ART (7) is a 10-start maiden who is knocking on the door after a narrow defeat last start after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. LOVE SLENDER (1) started at $5.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at Himeji. Likely improver with strong prospects. ARATAMANO KISEKI (10) next best.
