GOING:

Race 3 1700m

Track:      

Just a moderate pace anticipated. HIGH GOOD SHINE (7) travelled in a rearwards position then made a little ground and finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track two weeks ago as $3.1 favourite. Steps up in distance today. The testing material. NAMURA KAMEJIRO (5) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 1400m at Himeji. Comes here with definite claims. ORENO SUGOWAZA (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 5 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. ALZARD (9) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at this track over 1400m. Expecting improvement.
