Race 7 1400m Track: |

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

Plenty of pace with Dame Sunrise and Con Spirito up front, pressured by Daiboken and Tokino Hito. DAME SUNRISE (10) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at this track. Best fresh figures put her right in this. BEST DECISION (4) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 6 lengths. Shaping up nicely and he is worth including. DAIBOKEN (2) is in fine form, filling a minor placing again last start over 1400m at this track to make it four top-three finishes on the trot. Wataru Hirose stays on. Certainly one to consider. SUKESAN KAKUSAN (6) is nearing a win, the latest effort a close second over 1400m at this track. Good record at this journey including seven wins so he must be included.
