Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Speed assured from Tatchi Faith, Daigo Ryujin and Magique pressing on ahead of You Are My Soul. DAIGO RYUJIN (7) racing well, finishing third last start over 1400m at this track after a good first-up win at Himeji. Definite threat in this line-up. TATCHI FAITH (3) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last start over 1400m at this track following a good first-up win at Himeji. Suitably placed and can produce a winning run here. MAGIQUE (5) saluted at the first run back from a spell last start over 1400m at Himeji, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Has been given a let-up of five weeks since that outing. Won at her only second-up appearance and another big run will not surprise. T O NICHOLAS (11) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.5 lengths at today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Stepping up a level this time but capable of another big performance.
