GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track: DIRT      

Slick tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward - Win Besant, Miel Miele and Win Cranberry will be prominent. WIN CRANBERRY (5) was a 4 length winner over 1500m last time at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Sure to go close if runs up to mark. WIN BESANT (3) has put together back to back placings after scoring three back at this track, the latest when a 2 length third at Funabashi. Proving a good combination with same rider in the money the last two rides. Best figures should see him run well. YUTAKASAN (7) went back early from his wide draw over 1500m at this track last time but hit the line strongly to finish fifth. Yet to win here but has recorded some good runs including two placings and has winning claims on best figures. JO STELLA (10) raced below best at last run when eighth over 1400m at this track and returns from a nearly two months break. Keep safe along with DALIAN KAIXIN (1) from barrier 1. Has gone back his past two runs. Better when ridden on speed and the inside draw better allows for it.
