GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Gagne and Satono Medusa leading the charge. GAGNE (2) was an emphatic winner last time over 2000m at this track with today's rider Soichi Kato engaged. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. SATONO MEDUSA (6) was sent out favourite last time when second over 1500m at this track after she was prominent throughout. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. One of the better hopes. OKIHARU (7) improved sharply with success over 1700m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KANNON SOLARE (11) was fourth over 1500m at this track last time out. Has claims.
