GOING:

Race 8 1200m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Sun Dillon, Sorceress and Pure Jasmine. SORCERESS (7) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1400m at Kawasaki nine days ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TAISEI FORTE (10) is a genuine type with two minor placings from three starts this campaign. Continued the trend last start when third over 1200m here after he was handy all the way. Must be included on the strength of that form. PURE JASMINE (1) proved too strong last start and scored by a neck over 1200m at this circuit. Shotaro Kawashima who has scored on her two times retains the mount and is sure to be competitive. SUN DILLON (3) finished 7 lengths from the winner in eighth last time out over 1400m at Kawasaki on July 8. Has a solid record here at the distance with three wins and six placings from 12 tries and is capable of taking the next step.
