GOING:

Race 5 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Laplace leading the way. PLACER GOLD (7) is returning from a spell of nine weeks. Finished tenth at Tokyo Dirt over 2100m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Yuji Uchikoshi. Rates highly and can return in winning form. SEIUN GALLEON (2) disappointed as favourite last time when fifth over 1600m at this track. Prior to that he had been in the money two races on end. Minoru Miyagawa who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to run well. MEISHO YONKU (6) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track two starts back then scored by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Finds an easier assignment and can go back-to-back. REACH A DEAL (8) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Cannot be ruled out based on the latest effort.
