GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Good pressure from the outset with Signatory, Yamori Atsumare and Don Takami taking up the running over Lazhward Lapis and Logi Screen. PEAK BLOOM (9) finished 12th two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1400m at Kanazawa, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Steps up a level but she is worth serious consideration. DON TAKAMI (5) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track last time. Should camp just off the leaders. Likely to feature. MEDIA PUNTA (4) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SIGNATORY (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a tenth over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Can play a significant role.
