GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Cheek Rouge should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. NAMURA SCAR (2) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at Kasamatsu, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2.5 lengths. Seigo Tsukamoto who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Right in this. ESTRADA (10) finished second two runs ago but was less effective last time over 1500m at this track, finishing back in sixth. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. TANOSHINDAMONOGATI (4) was always well out of her ground when 11th over 1500m at this track last start. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. CHEEK ROUGE (7) lines up on the back of a fifth over 1500m at this track. Among the main hopes.
