GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Good tempo expected with Ecoro Jade, Future Again and Presto Angel rolling forward. VIP AKUA (7) is in sparkling form, scoring at her last three starts, the latest win coming over 1400m at this track. Far too good last time and expected to go right on with it. FUTURE AGAIN (2) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa. That made it two in a row. Drawn to stalk the leaders so can salute again. SUZUKA PANTHER (5) finished second two runs back at Mizusawa then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths as favourite over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. ECORO JADE (10) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1600m at this track. Is going well with a string of wins and placings. Solid claims.

At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track October 19 over 1400m defeating Sister with 56kg at $3.80. The start before that 9th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on September 13 over 1200m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Dunkeld carrying 57.0kg at $10. Draws the fence and looks a genuine chance.
