GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo expected primarily from Kagano Jewel and Shoga Domannaka. KAGANO JEWEL (5) is back from a break of ten weeks. Sat on the pace at her only start and held on well for second over 900m at this track. Likely improver and should prove tough to beat again. KAROYAKA (6) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has the pace to be prominent from the outset. Well placed and expected to feature. RUBY OCEAN (1) never featured two back in tougher grade then last time drifted back but got home well to finish a 6 length third at this track. Rates strongly here on last start and can find best form. TOKIYUSHI (3) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track after he gave away a big start. In the mix.
