GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Gembu. GEMBU (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Usually thereabouts and can feature again. VICTORY CATCH (12) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1500m. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Takahiro Imai but on current form can feature. REGENT CAROL (7) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1500m at this track. Expect a better run this time. ZENDAN SAKURA (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1500m at this track. Jumps from a nice gate. Leading prospect.
