GOING: S

Race 12 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

Nishino Cashmere is expected to burn across and lead from the wide gate. LORD ARABIAN (2) comes here off a break of three months. Was in fine form last prep, heading to the paddock off four straight wins. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Expect him to play a major role. NISHINO CASHMERE (10) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 0.8 lengths away in second over 1500m at Kawasaki. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Goes up a rung or two but she will be fitter. O SHIN ROKUZERO (9) scored two back and finished fourth over this distance at his latest outing. Form over this journey is strong, boasting four wins from six starts. Watch for a big run. DREAM BELIEVER (8) drifted well back from the inside draw last time before winding up strongly and finishing fourth. Go well.
