GOING:

Race 5 1230m

Track:      

Smile Jonas should lead at a slick tempo. A SHIN JASPER (7) was dominant last start over this track and trip, maintaining her unbeaten record at the course and distance in just two runs. She looks ready to go on with it and is a strong winning chance. DAIGO RYUJIN (3) returns from a break since June 13, having scored over 1400m at Himeji to kick off his last campaign. He has the ability to make an immediate impact. MAGICAL FACE (6) ran a much-improved third over this journey last time and is nicely placed to challenge again. MANGE TAK (9) has switched stables since finishing well back over 2000m at Sapporo last month. This easier assignment could see him play a more prominent role.
