GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Supreme Arrow, Nanyono Sarah and Ginza Target. LAND ACE (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1500m at this track after she produced a huge finish. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. CLEAN SLATE (10) was well in commission last start over 1500m at this track when third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Drawn out but rates highly and can play a big part. GINZA TARGET (11) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Masaya Matsudo stays aboard and she is a solid top-three hope. SUPREME ARROW (3) improved sharply last time out to score by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track a month ago. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
