GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Mariana Jazz leading from Passion Diva and Spartan World. SPARTAN WORLD (7) a sequence of wins was broken last time out when he finished fifth over 1400m at this track. Well-placed to bounce straight back. PASSION DIVA (6) lifted strongly to score last time with a 3-length win over 1400m at this track, making it two straight wins. Rates as a clear danger again. PRETTY PEARL (10) scored by a nose last start at this track over this distance. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from four starts. Reunites with jockey Takahiro Imai who knows her well, including two wins while aboard. Has claims on her best figures. AKIYOSHI POWER (5) finished second when resuming two runs back at this track then progressed nicely last time out to score by one length as favourite over 1500m at this track. Sure to run well again.
