Race 8 1600m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo from Letemps Allure leading Shigerutsukimizake. LETEMPS ALLURE (7) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by half a length over 1500m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be underestimated. SHIGERUTSUKIMIZAKE (11) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Urawa over 1400m after being in the firing line all the way. Should camp just off the leaders. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. TURQUOISE DUE (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but impressed when returning from a break last time at this track, finishing second after being prominent at the bend. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. RYUNO AR RASS (1) finished tenth over 2000m at Urawa last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Top-three chance.
