GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Abundant pace from Raise Me Up, Flight Blue and Yamatake Preda vying for the lead with Win Oreichalkon on their backs. RAISE ME UP (10) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1400m at this track when beaten 2 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. ALMA CHERUB (2) was a dominant winner last time over 1400m at Nagoya, drifting well back but unleashing late to run away with a 3 length win. Likely to measure up again. SHOW VESALE (12) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of her ground last start when 22 lengths away in eighth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. FLIGHT BLUE (8) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders.
