GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from G T Swat, Rhein Artemis and Long Beach. G T SWAT (8) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 5 lengths over 1500m at this track to make it four victories in a row. Winning rider Tsubasa Sasagawa retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LONG BEACH (9) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1500m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. RHEIN ARTEMIS (7) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth. Should be poised just off the lead. Capable of testing this field. NAMURA MICK (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1200m at Ohi. Among the chances.
