GOING:

Race 3 1750m

Track:      

Plenty of speed with Moon Of The Ace, Digital Scion and Principal Act leading Kashino Lucas and Dantsu Torrent. MOON OF THE ACE (10) is in top form including a win by 3 lengths over 1750m at this track last time to make it two victories in a row. Can go on with it. DIGITAL SCION (5) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1400m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Isao Yamaguchi who has three wins when partnering stays on. Bold showing expected. KASHINO LUCAS (11) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1750m at this track. Can continue to improve. DANTSU TORRENT (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1750m here. Good record at this journey with four wins and four minor placings from nine starts and is among the main hopes.
