GOING: G

Race 5 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo likely from the outset with a number of speedy beginners engaged, most notably Riko Louise and Kitano Passion. SARASA GOOD WORK (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. KITANO PASSION (1) displayed plenty of early toe and kicked strongly to score here last time. Will be prominent from the low draw and rates a leading contender. RIKO LOUISE (6) finished fourth two runs back at Urawa then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner over 1400m at Urawa. Looks well placed so expect another big run. VINCENZO (3) is a promising galloper who won at his last run before a break nine months ago over 1500m at this track. Solid claims on best form.
