GOING:

Race 8 1870m

Track:      

Yuian Grace has good gate speed and can overcome the wide draw to lead. YUIAN GRACE (11) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 30 lengths as favourite last time out over 1700m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. TAKKEN IKKI (7) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1700m at this track. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on two occasions from six starts. Expected to be in the finish. COSMO TAISHI (6) surprised many last time when a close third over 1700m at this track. Capable of testing this field. PPALLIPPALLI (3) ran well below her best last time over 1870m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fourth at $5.20. Kenta Sugiura who has four wins when partnering stays on. Deserves respect.
