Race 11 1500m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with Yapushi, Ratri Sawat and Yamanin Quicker leading the way. SOUL STRIKE (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over this track and trip after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CHACHA HATSU GO (7) was prominent from the outset when fourth over 2100m at this track last time out. Has a good record here at this journey. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. YAMANIN QUICKER (9) was safely held when resuming last start over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Is much better suited back in this grade and is worth following up. YAPUSHI (6) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when sixth. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
