Race 6 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pace established by Lune Saphir, Dantsu Talon and Raise Me Up, with Minamijujisei close at hand. DANTSU TALON (4) met with solid support last start over 1300m at this track when fourth. Change of jockey to Manato Hida who has a strong record when aboard, including two wins. Could be hard to stop. RAISE ME UP (5) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a nose at this track. Has a decent record at this track with one win and four minor placings. Should run well. GLEANN NA MADADH (3) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing sixth last start over 1300m at this track six weeks ago. Better than last start and can feature. LUNE SAPHIR (7) was tenth at the second run back from a break over 1300m at this track at his latest appearance. Fitter and a strong top-three chance.
