GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Jazz Pianist has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. GENOVA FLAVOR (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second and beaten only a nose over 1500m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEGA MILLION (7) finished fourth two runs back at Kawasaki then improved last time out to score by a neck after being in the firing line on the bend over 1400m at Kawasaki. No reason he cannot salute again. JAZZ PIANIST (11) returns from a spell. Finished sixth at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep 12 weeks ago. Expected to cross from wide out. One of the main contenders. YASAKA SOLEIL (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1500m at Kawasaki. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
