GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Cosmo Memorable and Krauselung to take up the running at a strong tempo. ZIEGFELD (8) was a determined winner two back then drifted back last time and finished 1.5 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Well-placed to return to winning form. COSMO MEMORABLE (6) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1400m at this track when third, beaten 2.5 lengths. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and six minor placings from 10 starts. Best form puts her right in this. KRAUSELUNG (7) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last start. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the main contenders. CHUWA ACE (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1400m after being in the firing line on the bend. The engagement of Takahiro Imai is a positive move. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.
