SHIRAYURI STAKES(L) 1800m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Ai Yo Amethyst heading them off. MY UNIVERSE (5) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by a neck over 2000m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and looks sure to be in the finish again. KINGMAKER (6) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over today's journey at this track. Is unbeaten in two starts at this course and distance. Leading player. RIGHT TRACK (8) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1800m at this track three weeks ago. Has upside and looks a key runner. SCENTS BLOOD (7) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Scored a determined win at his only run last preparation at Nakayama over 1800m. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the better hopes.
