GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track:      

Expecting Satono Rush to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. SATONO RUSH (5) improved last start but found one better over 1300m at this track, beaten only a nose. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MOON BLUE (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Will need a good ride from Masayoshi Yamasaki off the awkward draw but can feature. DERMA GARNET (2) was comfortably accounted for when eighth last time out over 1300m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. SCHLEIFE (3) last start could only manage seventh over 1300m at this track after she was well back on straightening. Placed to advantage so expect a better run.
