GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track: DIRT      

Blistering early pace as Cerasus Via, Sable D'or and Ai Cappuccino take each other on, with a few others in keen pursuit. CERASUS VIA (2) is a promising type who is unbeaten after four runs, the latest over 1600 at Ohi. Winning jockey stays aboard and rates a top chance again. UWASANO SHIBUKO (6) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before scoring a 0.8 lengths win over this journey at this track last time. Form here sound including a win and a placing from three starts and best figures should see her run well. T'S A READY (8) belied the big odds last time, sent out at $19.10 but scoring by 2 lengths over 1600m at Ohi. Jockey Ryuji Tatsushiro knows her well having been aboard her last three rides. Rates well and shapes as one to consider. GLORY OSO (1) has put together back to back wins, most recently scoring at Ohi over 1400m. Looks an each way chance of chalking up the hat-trick. PRESTO REGINA (4) also appeals. Has been ultra consistent so far this prep.
