GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Yuigahama Beach, Dali and Sunny Star to control the tempo. PHEASANT'S EYE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 16 lengths into ninth. Suitably placed so anticipating a much better run this time. YUIGAHAMA BEACH (8) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m here. Top-three candidate on best form. DALI (12) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 11 lengths away in eighth over 1400m at this venue. Best figures measure up nicely and is sure to run well. FLUGEL NOA (2) is a four-year-old entire on debut from the stable of Isao Nagakura. By Animal Kingdom from Setono Missy. Watch the market closely.
