GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of runners but a dawdling affair is on the cards. SPARTAN WORLD (1) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in a more suitable affair scored by a neck over 1500m at this track. Can go on with it now. YAMA CIRCLE (9) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 920m at this track, scoring by a neck. Winning rider Hiroshi Ohara sticks and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. NUPUR KUR (8) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1500m contest at this track last time out by 1.5 lengths. Sure to measure up. SPICE MAN (7) is a 12-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 5 lengths away in third over 1500m at this track. Sure to be right in this.
