GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. SEMPREVERDE (12) finished tenth two runs back at Kasamatsu then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1580m at Kasamatsu. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she can go back-to-back. AMERICAN SUNDAY (11) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third, beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role. ORIKO BIARRITZ (8) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Among the chances while fresh. AFFIRMATIVE (10) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed to feature in the finish.
