GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Shine Design taking up the running ahead of Shonan Manten and Good Timing. SHONAN MANTEN (2) was an impressive winner last time over 1300m at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths and making it two straight wins. Should go close if runs up to latest. KAGA CAPPUCCINO (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Perfectly placed and could prove tough to beat. AQUA FIRST (3) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by 0.8 lengths over 1750m here last time. Has a decent record at this track and shapes as one to consider. GOOD TIMING (5) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1800m at this track. Hiroki Yamashita has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Worth including in calculations.
