GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Moderate pace only with Rose Quartz leading Tactica. TACTICA (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when third over 1500m at this track. Going well and expected to be competitive again. SPARTAN WORLD (1) last appeared five weeks ago over 1600m at Tokyo when he finished 11th. This is his first run for the Satoshi Inoue stable. One of the genuine hopes in this suitable race. SOIS TOI MEME (5) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having her first outing under new trainer Naomi Tobe. Finished 16th at Nakayama over 2000m at the opening run last time in work. Sure to make her presence felt here in easier. EXCEL ALADDIN (4) was unplaced last start over 1500m at this track when ninth. Better than recent efforts suggest and worth consideration here.
