GOING:

Race 7 1700m

Track:      

Blu Rosso should find the front with Hakusan Shuttle and Cerulean Drop on her heels. CERULEAN DROP (7) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 2 lengths at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. NORISAN BLACK (8) was prominent from the outset when second over 1500m at this track last time out. Leading chance. KAFUJI ASSAM (11) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 2 lengths over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SHINZEN MARUNOSUKE (4) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1400m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Expect a better here.
