GOING: S

Race 8 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Corin Judge can work over from a wide alley to lead. FLOWER JEANNE (9) got home by one length last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and six placings. Winning rider Sho Yoshii sticks. Should be hard to stop. SHANGHAI MAGOKORO (1) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten one length, over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BIG SHOT (5) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has the class to produce another win. AUTO BIANCHI (6) made progress last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so he should be in contention again.
