GOING: G

Race 8 2000m

Track: GOOD     True  

Spin Diegoal should lead and control the tempo. SPIN DIEGOAL (8) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by one length over 1400m. Tsubasa Sasagawa, who has scored on him twice, retains the mount. Leading contender. MANACOR (5) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Tackling a more suitable race, so he is an each-way threat. ANUMATI CHEKO (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest over 1500m at Kawasaki after she got a long way back. She jumps up to a middle distance and will be peaking third up. Stick with her. TAKARA HUNTER (1) missed the placings two runs back, then did well last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better here.
