GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Fortune Days and My Presti ahead of Champagne In and Sanzento Kagayaku. SANZENTO KAGAYAKU (8) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 2 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has a good record here with two wins and three minor placings. Yuji Iwahashi who has two wins when partnering stays on and is likely to feature. FORTUNE DAYS (2) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2 lengths over 1200m at this circuit. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. CHAMPAGNE IN (3) was quickly into stride over 1200m at this venue last time and dug deep to score by one length. Has his share of ability and is hard to beat in this suitable race. AQUARIDS (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this course, beaten 8 lengths. Strips fitter now and can turn things around from the inside alley.
