GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Gaga Hyakumangoku leading Virgin Esper. GAGA HYAKUMANGOKU (7) was leading on the turn and fought on well to finish second over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. ESAGRAMMA (5) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Shaping up nicely and she should be in the finish again. VIRGIN ESPER (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. STAR MAMMOTH (1) ran fifth at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. One of the genuine contenders.
