GOING:

Race 6 820m

Track:      

Fast pace assured with Gold Lantern, Meisho Rutile and Makuraga Reine leading the charge. PECHE BLANCHE (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 820m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. LAST TICKET (5) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 820m at this track. Worth noting Tomohiro Yoshimura goes aboard. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MAKURAGA REINE (7) finished seventh at this track and distance at her last appearance four-and-a-half months ago. Among the better hopes. SEI BROCKEN (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over 820m. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field.
