Race 7 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Athena Parthenos. ANILA (3) resumes in a similar race to her last run ten weeks ago when she scored dominantly. Capable of playing a major role. REEF AQUARIUM (11) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Winning rider Taku Kawashima sticks. Should be in the finish. ATHENA PARTHENOS (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out here. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute. SUEZMAX (12) hasn't threatened of late but the engagement of Shoma Kanayama is a positive move. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
