GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Je T'adore and Kurino Kaiser pressing hard closely followed by Sakura Top Cross and Mozu Dash Star. MOZU DASH STAR (4) finished second two runs back at Kochi then improved last time out to score by one length as favourite over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. JE T'ADORE (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 0.8 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. HO O RAIJIN (2) finished sixth over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win when resuming from a spell two runs back. Among the leading players. JUNE STATUS (6) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when second, beaten a neck, at this track over 1400m. Can measure up.
