GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Reward Imperio leading Zokuzoku. REWARD IMPERIO (4) was in contention on the turn and finished 2.5 lengths away from the winner in third last start at this track over 1600m Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from three starts. Taichi Nagamori who has four wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. ABENDSONNE (3) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing third over 1400m at this track last time out. Yet to miss the frame from four starts at the trip, including a win and is expected to feature. DO FORCE (2) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 1300m at this track, beaten 18 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. ZENNO SOVEREIGN (6) lines up on the back of a 4.5 lengths fourth over 1400m at this track. Has a win and three minor placings from nine starts at this track and distance. One of the key contenders.
