GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Shobuun leading the way. TAISEI TRIOMPHE (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. SHOBUUN (7) was comfortably accounted for when second last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has the class to produce another win. KIRA KAIDO (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims. MA JOLIE (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Well placed to make amends.
