GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Expecting Ric To Memma to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. RIC TO MEMMA (5) impressed last time when she scored by a nose over today's journey at this track on July 20. Nice weight drop so she is expected to measure up again. B STREET (11) has switched yards since finishing tenth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Kawasaki. In the mix despite the unknowns. SOLEIL BLANC (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a head away in second over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. CHAGALL BLUE (4) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish ninth over 1200m at this circuit. Winning rider Takanori Yoshimoto sticks. Don't underestimate.
