GOING: S

Race 8 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Solid tempo anticipated with T's Apex and Asia Jennifer matching motors. SHADOW LUPIN (12) was sent out as favourite last time and scored by 0.8 lengths at this track. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Rates highly and should go well again. KAGAYAKI TEMMA (5) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1200m at this track. Takayuki Yano who has two wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. ASIA JENNIFER (6) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on July 17 over 1400m when she got home by 1.3 lengths. Winning rider Ryo Fujita retains the mount. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. T'S APEX (1) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third over today's trip at this track. In the right race and can give this a shake.
