GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Expecting Xiao Xing Yun to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. SUMMER SPIRIT (4) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1200m at this track. Should be getting home hard and is sure to be tough to beat. SEGANTINI (3) remains a maiden after 10 runs. Had plenty of admirers last time and finishing a close third over 1200m at this track. Eexpected to be in the finish again. JO BLACK (13) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can take the next step and salute. TAIYONO KISETSU (8) was below his best last time when 4 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1400m at Niigata. Should camp just off the leaders. Don't underestimate.
