GOING:

Race 6 1000m

Track:      

Pace looks genuine from Full Boost, Luna Elf and Golden Isle, closely attended by Nishino Laevigata. LUNA ELF (4) went forward last start over 1000m at this track and held on well for third, only beaten a neck. Ideally placed and can give this a mighty shake. NISHINO LAEVIGATA (2) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing third over 1000m at this track. Well-placed and could take running down. BLACKMORE (9) performed above expectations last time over 1000m at this track, finishing only 0.8 lengths from the winner in second after starting at big odds. Has claims. GOLDEN ISLE (6) is resuming from a spell of 11 weeks and having her first run for the Tomoki Kurokawa yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track over 1000m and should be primed for this.
