GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Winning The Soul taking up the running ahead of Muso and Kastrom Petra. WINNING THE SOUL (5) lifted strongly to salute by 4 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Change of jockey to Shinsuke Ishikawa who has a strong record when aboard with a win and four placings from five rides. Should be in the finish. KAZENO OTO (11) scored at this track last time out with a neck in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and seven minor placings from 13 starts. Hiroki Yamashita who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish. KASTROM PETRA (7) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track. Can feature. RHEIN STRAHL (1) last start finished fifth at this track over 1300m. Likely improver.
