GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Should be a strong tempo with the youngsters burning turf early. A SHIN JASPER (8) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 1.5 lengths over 1000m at this track. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Should give a great sight. WAR ANTHEM (2) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1200m at this track. Strong prospects. BLUE ASTERISK (1) started at $9.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth here over 1200m. The engagement of Yuji Iwahashi is noteworthy. Expect a better run this time. OI KUMOYO (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth over 1600m at this track. Masaaki Kuwamura stays aboard. Deserves respect.
