GOING:

Race 5 820m

Track:      

Cracking tempo with Key Of Heart and Binary Star leading the way. KAWAKITABORDERLESS (2) went forward and proved too strong when resuming, scoring narrowly. Drawn to stalk the speed and despite meeting a stronger field can run a big race. BELLAGIO MASAKI (3) has returned in great form, following a second here with a gritty win as favourite. Steps up in grade but is going well enough to measure up. KIRAKIRARI (7) scored a narrow win at this track and trip last start, holding her good recent form. Faces a deeper field but warrants respect. TECHNO HAPPY (9) led throughout for a dominant win last time and will give plenty of cheek again.
