GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Pace only fair with Korokoro Rusk rolling to the lead ahead of Marino Magical and Mint Julep. KOROKORO RUSK (6) is returning from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Finished fifth at Himeji over 1400m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Toshikazu Okada. Will prove tough to beat. MARINO MAGICAL (3) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when seventh. Has the class to put the recent run behind her. MINT JULEP (5) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1400m at this track. Good enough on her day and can fill a top-three spot. ELUCIDATOR (10) next best.
