GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Without a designated pacemaker it will probably turn into a dash home. JASMINE CHARA (4) resumes in a similar race to her last run three months ago when third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Capable of playing a major role. WHITE ASH (7) last appeared a month ago over 1200m at this track when he finished seventh. This is his first run for the Masao Ai stable. Definite winning chance in this line-up. PROMPT NOAH (1) is a 19-start maiden who finished sixth at her most recent appearance over 1400m at Kawasaki. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. EUGENES (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 10 lengths into ninth. Well placed to bounce back.
