GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Lambeau Leap and Confiserie should tussle for the early lead in the small field. LAMBEAU LEAP (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1400m at this track. The engagement of Osamu Shimohara is a positive move. Sure to run well. KEY CLASSIC (5) returns from a break of five-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. TENKOBAHI (3) could only manage to finish eighth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest. CONFISERIE (4) is back after a break of eight months. Has found the frame when fresh before and worth including.
