GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Minamijujisei and Petale Blanche pressing for the lead. MINAMIJUJISEI (5) is backing up just 10 days after he was strongly fancied and finished third over 1400m at this track. Good effort last start and should prove tough to beat. SCEPTRUM (1) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 1300m at this track. Sound record at this distance with three wins and two minor placings from seven runs and is right in this. DON APOLLON (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1300m at this track. Placed to advantage and can run a better race. ICHINO KOMACHI (2) was beaten 7 lengths into seventh in a 1300m contest at this track at her latest appearance. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
