GOING:

Race 12 1230m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Cherry Rise and Kazutoshikun up front. COEUR ET CASSIS (4) recorded another success last time over 1400m at this track making it two straight wins this campaign. Wataru Hirose retains the ride. Should be in the finish. KAZUTOSHIKUN (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.75 lengths away in third over 1230m at this track. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. CHERRY RISE (10) led from a wide gate last time over 1230m at this track but felt the pinch and faded out of it. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the main contenders. SOLIS LUX (5) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1230m at this track. Hard to fault of late.
