GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Good tempo anticipated with Go Max and Magic Touch leading the way. GO MAX (6) is poised to win after placing at his last four outings, most recently when second over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Key runner. SHONAN NATSUZORA (7) was fourth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Can bounce right back in this suitable race. MAGIC TOUCH (10) strode forward early from his wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by 1.5 lengths at this track over 1300m. One of the main contenders. SUNSET VERY (5) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish sixth. Will be putting in the big strides late again and can feature.
