Race 5 1200m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. HIGASHI NADESHIKO (13) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1200m at this track six months ago and has not been produced since. Looks promising and can measure up again. SAYONAKIDORI (6) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over 1200m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. DRIVE ME HOME (7) scored over this course and distance last time after racing on the speed then lifting to score by one length. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with four wins from seven runs and is capable of going well. JUNE ACADEMY (4) is back from a spell of four months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, scoring in a 1200m contest at this track by 6 lengths. Has definite claims.
