GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Exosome has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. EXOSOME (3) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1400m at Himeji at her most appearance. Should be prominent from the outset and is among the leading chances. PIROKO GIGA MAX (9) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1870m at this track as favourite. Can atone. LAC PUER (2) returns after a spell of four months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Makes plenty of appeal freshl. SUNRISE SALAH (8) finished ninth at his last appearance over 1700m at this track on April 18. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race for him.
