GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Good pace with Fangxin Lady, Haruhiko and King Spica prominent. FANGXIN LADY (5) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing third last time over 1400m here. Kazuma Okaki who has two wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. KING SPICA (6) raced below his best last time when 11th over 1870m in a disappointing run. Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. The engagement of Tomohiro Sasada is a positive move. Has the ability to put the recent run behind him. MANTEGNA (2) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was seventh over 1400m at this track. Has a solid second-up record. Stepping up a level this time but with added fitness he is right in contention. DANSE DESMIRLITONS (4) last start finished fourth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and can fill a top-three spot.
