GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Cosmo En En leading Big Phu Kao. COSMO EN EN (8) proved too strong last start and scored by one length over 1200m at this track. Has started five times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Reunites with jockey Tsubasa Sasagawa who knows him well, including two wins while aboard. Well placed and should be in the finish. SATONO CAMPANULA (11) resumes in a similar race to his last run three months ago when he scored by 2.5 lengths. Expect him to play a major role. BIG PHU KAO (2) resumed over 1200m at this track last time out and finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has a strong record when second-up, including two wins, and should be fitter with a run under the belt. One of the better chances. RAINBOW POLARIS (4) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. No surprise to see him in the mix.
