GOING:

Race 1 800m

Track:      

Not expecting them to go too hard with a lack of pace evident. ONE THE STORY (10) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Kyoto when she finished 11th. This is her first run for the Hiroshi Sasano stable. Expecting a seamless transition. PRESTO EMERY (7) is racing well without winning. Last start finished seventh, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Among the leading chances. RIC RIBBON (1) continues to race well this time in work, the latest effort a solid third over 1400m at this track. Cherry-ripe now so she is one of the prime contenders. KO LANTA (3) finished 8 lengths away in ninth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on May 30 after she gave away a big start. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
