GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Tactical given the lack of speed. GOKO SASU (2) finished third here two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in sixth. Has the ability and a bold showing is expected. PENSEE (3) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when sixth over 1400m at this track. Should be right in the finish. KUROTCHI (7) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over 1600m after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Can atone. SANDS OF TIME (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1600m. Well placed and could return to winning ways.
