Race 6 1500m Track: AW True |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine pace with Dawn Express taking up the running ahead of Desert Train and Southern Wind. DAWN EXPRESS (6) was an emphatic winner last time over 1400m at Kawasaki with today's rider Wada Joji engaged. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will give a great sight. DESERT TRAIN (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a head away in second over 1600m at Kawasaki. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. EMPATH (2) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing 12th at this track over 1400m. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove tough to stop. BYSTOL (7) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1600m at Kawasaki, clocking in 4 lengths from the winner. Hard to knock.
