GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

In a race devoid of early speed Tosen Sigiriya is the most likely to find the front. MARUKA ALBA (1) has switched yards since finishing ninth six weeks ago over 1800m at Hanshin. Key runner who may prove tough to beat. TOSEN SIGIRIYA (6) is an eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 800m at this track. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. HITORI CELEB (7) settled well back when eighth in an 800m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Certainly worth another chance on best. SATSUKI MERMAID (5) finished fifth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on July 8. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
