GOING: G

Race 8 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Off the low draw Sandy Beach can take it up a race lacking a genuine leader. SWORD CUT (8) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in a more suitable affair scored by one length over 1500m at this track. Can continue the winning form. SANDY BEACH (2) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1500m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. DIRT RAISING (3) was last at the races when he finished third over 1500m at this track on August 5. Can make his presence felt. YORUDEMO ASA (5) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1600m at Funabashi, beaten 12 lengths. Can bounce back.
