GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Onimaru and Sol Levante leading the way. ONIMARU (3) built on a nice second two starts back with success as favourite over 1400m at this track eight days ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Hiroshi Ohara scored on him last time and retains the mount. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to score again. HAYAIMONO GACHI (4) is a distance specialist who improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 1400m at this track. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. WIN FRANCHISE (7) proved too strong last start and scored by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has five wins here and is among the chances. SKY OJI (10) improved sharply last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.
