GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. KASHINO TOP RUN (9) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by a neck last time out over 1300m at this track. Could take some stopping again. NANGOKU CANDLE (2) managed to find the placings two starts back before finishing fourth over 1300m at this track last time. Likely to be about the money. CANTERBURY NOBUSHI (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when second over 1300m at this track. In the mix. JASMINE (7) appreciated the drop in grade and saluted last time over 1300m at this track, leading throughout. Among the leading chances.
