GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Hot tempo expected from Ask Sustainable and Snark Yuma. SAKURA VIGUEUR (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but looks close to a win, the latest effort a solid second over 1400m at this track. Best form measures up and he looks a huge chance. KURINO KOTEI (5) is yet to break through after 12 starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 820m at this track. Overdue and looks well placed to break the ice. ASK SUSTAINABLE (9) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance four months ago over 1400m at Himeji. Sure to make his presence felt fresh. A SHIN CINERARIA (1) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when ninth over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
