GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Purple Rouge probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. OINARISAN (3) proved too strong last start and scored by 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Expected to measure up again. PARSIFAL (9) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at this track, scoring by one length. Shaping up nicely and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. TRUST YOU (10) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1500m. Will need a good ride from Ogasawara Antelope off the awkward draw. Has her share of ability and is in the mix. SUNRISE PROMISE (2) was well fancied on the back of a couple of minor placings but could only manage sixth last start over 1500m at this track. Worth noting Daimyo Otshata is the change of rider. Capable of a far better outcome this time.
