GOING:

Race 1 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo to be established by Floral Romance, World Fountain and Iron Bible. GREATER HOPE (6) broke through for his maiden win over 1600m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Sho Yoshii sticks and he should be in the finish. IKENO GAL CHAN (8) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2 lengths over 1600m at this track when she worked home well. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. WORLD FOUNTAIN (9) recorded an all-the-way win last time out by a neck over today's journey at this track. Minami Sugiyama has been the pilot at his last two wins. One of the main contenders. KIBARU STAR (7) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1600m at this track. Finds a nice race and can play a big role again.
