GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure from Yamatake Preda, A Shin Pop and Irise Rivage battling for the lead over Win Oreichalkon. WIN OREICHALKON (4) has been about the money with seven minor placings from 13 starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1400m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. A SHIN POP (6) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the corner at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 2.5 lengths starting at $7.20. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. YAMATAKE PREDA (2) was comfortably accounted for last time but that followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Yukihito Nagata is a key engagement. Likely improver with strong prospects. IRISE RIVAGE (7) was only beaten 3 lengths last time. No surprise to see her in the frame.
