GOING:

Race 10 1200m

Track:      

Expecting Marlowe to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. GEIST SEGEN (4) came home strongly last start to finish second, only beaten a head, over 1200m at this track. Generally goes well here. Right in this. MARLOWE (6) finished back in sixth over 1200m at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Watanabe who has two wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. TULEARENSIS (7) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at this track and distance when resuming from a spell last start. Worth noting Yamato Ishikawa goes aboard. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. PIERRE TENNESSEE (8) is a 48-start maiden who looks close to that elusive win after finishing in the placings at the last couple of runs, most recently when second over 1200m at this track. Takafumi Hattori has registered two minor placings when on board. Not to be discounted.
