GOING: G

Race 6 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Good early pressure with Pantanal or Omataseshimashita likely to take up the running. PANTANAL (10) continued the great form last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths at this track over today's trip. Looks very tough to beat again. OMATASESHIMASHITA (9) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by one length last time out over 1200m at this track. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. MANDALAY (3) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. LIVRE WONDER (1) ran a better race last start, finishing 1.1 lengths away in fourth over 1200m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
