GOING: S

Race 8 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Certain to be a strong tempo with Hakusan Selene, Crazy Dis and Horsemanship leading the charge. HORSEMANSHIP (12) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1200m at this track. Has a formidable combination with Nakano Kazuma who has been aboard for his last four wins. Should be in the finish. OSORE (7) was well fancied last time but found a couple better at Kawasaki, finishing 1.5 lengths adrift at the end of 900m. Looks well placed stepping out in trip. Worth another chance. TOKEN MAMBO (6) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 1200m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. ARME MATE (9) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths. Well placed and should be about the money.
