GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track: DIRT      

Plenty of pace as Elsinore, Ecoro Pegasus and Sei Sphere match motors ahead of Win Luminous. ELSINORE (5) broke through for his maiden win at this track over 1400m and the same jockey Katsuto Maruno stays aboard. Has found winning form now back to NAR level and is worth following up. ECORO PEGASUS (4) was seventh last start when resuming over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Will be fitter, gets Okabe in the saddle and should prove hard to beat. GOLD LAUNCH (6) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest when second at this track over 1400m. Runs well here placing at all three runs and shapes as one to consider. SEI SPHERE (9) is a six start maiden who was in the placings her last two starts, finishing third at Kochi last time out and is close to breaking through. Has good early speed and has to be respected.
