GOING:

Race 4 1600m

Track:      

Danon Alps to take charge ahead of Sound Lux at a good tempo. DANON ALPS (3) has won five from six and is unbeaten in two runs this campaign, including a track and distance victory last start. Rates highly and looks the one to beat again. MONGE VENUS (11) won her maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by one length. Breaks from a wide alley but she should be in the finish again. MAR CHIQUITA (6) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing sixth over 1600m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. TOSANO OUMASAN (1) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1300m at Kochi. Has switched to the Yasumasa Kurita stable. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
