GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Should be plenty of pressure on from the jump. KISS UMAI (4) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from five starts. Should be in the finish again. IN A WINK (6) resumes in a similar race to his last run four months ago when third. Has switched to the Yoshihiro Iida yard and will be tuned-up for this. Expected to run well. TRANE (5) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. BRANDY (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1230m at this track. Strips fitter and expected to feature.
