GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Expecting plenty of speed from Daita Justice, Tamamo Jacket and Saiseisei from Danon Fast. NAMURA CREPE (3) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 5 lengths over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with five wins and two minor placings from 13 starts. Big chance once again. DANON WILHELM (4) bounced back last start and scored by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. DANON FAST (10) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. BERLINETTA (11) failed to feature last start, finishing eighth over 1600m at this track. Look for an improved run.
