GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Lack of speed evident which paves the way for Sun Kaguyahime to be prominent. SUN KAGUYAHIME (5) wound up strongly last time out to finish second over 1200m at this track. Has been in the money at all four starts at this course and should run well again. HAKU ZUISHO (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when third over 1200m at this track. Well placed and everything points towards a big run. ROUTE SHINE (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1200m at this track. Can measure up with the right run. HEARTFUL ROMAN (8) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when ninth over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up and has solid top-three prospects.
