GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Joulupukki. TAISEI QUEST (5) started favourite but the winning run ended last start when he finished second at this track over 1400m. Very tough to beat here. TOTAL DIA (9) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by a neck over 1400m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four runs. Top chance again. SAKURAHIME (4) started at $3.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 11th here over 1400m. Finds a more suitable contest and can turn things around. HEROINE YUKICHAN (2) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when eighth. Well placed and is a top-three hope.
