GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

This will be a keen early contest, with Exosome, Agnes Ryu and Mcgillis prominent. EXOSOME (7) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Sure to go well again. SATONO HARMONIA (1) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths. Sakito Yamamoto scored on her last time and retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. GILT EDGE (2) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished tenth over 1600m at Chukyo. Commenced last prep with a minor placing at Kyoto over 1600m. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. MCGILLIS (6) started this preparation with a win but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
