GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Sanono Rich leading the way. PRESTO STAR (1) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1500m. Justified the strong support last time and is expected to be in the finish again. HYAKUSHIKI (6) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a head, over 1400m at this track. Tatsuya Nakajima who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Among the leading chances. MEINER HERITAGE (5) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a head over 1400m here last time. Will give a sight again. SANONO RICH (3) finished 2.75 lengths behind the winner in third over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Has a solid record at this circuit. Worth considering.
