GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. TASSEL (5) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1400m at this track. Ready to go one better. DANON GRAY (11) did little and finished 18 lengths from the winner in 16th over 2000m at Hanshin last start, a less impressive effort than his seventh at Kyoto the run before. Has the talent to produce a better result. VITA COMPAGNI (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 1400m here a week-and-a-half ago after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason why he cannot find winning ways. WIN SOLENNEL (4) ran a better race last start, finishing 2.5 lengths away in fifth over 1230m at this venue. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
