GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Sezan Diva taking charge. EXERCISE (8) was last at the races when he finished second over 1300m at Saga on March 9. Has switched to the Masashi Ito yard. Has found a suitable race to kick off. OCCITANIA (2) tackled the mile for the first time last start at this track and after looking a winning chance halfway down the straight she fought on for second. Has a decent record here and could prove tough to beat. SHANGHAI MAGOKORO (1) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and look for an improved run. SEZAN DIVA (10) missed the frame as favourite last time over 1600m at this track after she had won two races on end. Not to be discounted.
