GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

No recognised leader engaged but Raifuku possesses enough dash to take advantage of a low draw and take it up. RAIFUKU (2) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. RONDE CHASSE (11) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1300m at this track, beaten only a neck after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MARINO DOUDOU (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1300m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAGANO KAWACHII (1) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, after being prominent at the bend at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
