GOING:

Race 12 1580m

Track:      

A few on-pacers lining up so it should be keenly contested. WORNITZ (8) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 1400m at this track last time. Tatsuya Watanabe who has two wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. MAJOR RUSH (2) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by half a length last time out over 1400m at this track. Reunites with Iguchi Yuki who has been in the money four times when aboard. Sure to run well. ALI DORATA (7) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Steps up a level but he is capable of another big run. HO O PURSUIT (5) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
