GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Yuino Shinobiashi and Katsuno Ninth up front, pressured by Vila Isabel and Burquem. BURQUEM (9) improved sharply on her fourth two starts back at this track with success over 1400m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. CUPID'S ARROW (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m after being prominent from the outset. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts. VILA ISABEL (4) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing sixth last time out over 1300m at this track. Tsubasa Kamo who has two wins when partnering stays on. Sure to be competitive. RINACHAN (6) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1300m at this track. One to watch for in the concluding stages.
