GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Arabian Rain and Danon Rainier taking up the running over Toma. ARABIAN RAIN (9) made it three wins on the trot when he scored by 4 lengths first up from a spell last time out over 800m at this track. Jumps in distance but has only once missed a place in eight tries at the trip, winning four. Form here is strong boasting 10 wins from 16 starts. Can deliver again. DANON RAINIER (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1500m at this track. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. TSUKASA REVS (1) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, at Kawasaki over 1500m. Has a solid record at this journey with three wins from eight starts and shapes as a key runner. SAUDADE (8) finished third last start over 1500m at Kawasaki, beaten 2.5 lengths. Include.
