GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Expecting a strong tempo, predominantly from Ore Osu, Omi Cherry and Mimosa No Kisetsu. OMI CHERRY (5) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 4 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is right in contention. ORE OSU (6) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 6 lengths at this track. Has three wins here. Shin Higashikawa who has three wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. MIMOSA NO KISETSU (10) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back with a win over 1400m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Has the ability to build on that fine effort. STILL ALONE (3) showed good early speed over 1600m at this track last time and went on to salute by 4 lengths. Maki Mukoyama who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Must be respected.
