GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Speed assured from Prime Line, Mark Of Zorro and Seven Make Happy pressing on ahead of Trajectoire. TRAJECTOIRE (2) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Tatsuya Nakajima retains the mount. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. PRIME LINE (1) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. SAKURA RUFEN (4) scored an impressive win by 8 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1500m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and is among the leading chances. SEVEN MAKE HAPPY (5) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be peaking. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
