GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Pace should be on from the outset with Tsukasa Train, Tsiskaridze and Roseo going hard, closely attended by You Made My Day. VALED ACE (11) improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Makoto Okabe scored on him last time and retains the mount. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. PARADISE CITY (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1500m at this track. Faces an easier assignment and is likely to play a big role. YOU MADE MY DAY (9) bounced back last start and scored by a neck over 1400m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she can go back-to-back. TSUKASA TRAIN (10) showed good speed here last time over 1500m and led into the straight before tiring to finish ninth. Worth including.
