GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Winning The Soul taking charge. WINNING THE SOUL (8) is putting together some solid results. Finished second two starts back then landed the prize by 2 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Shinsuke Ishikawa scored on her last time and retains the mount. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. POLICE VEHICLE (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Key runner. NOBLE BEACH (2) missed the placings last start when fifth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver. SWORD CUT (1) failed to feature last start when fifth over 1300m at Kochi. Best efforts measure up and worth another chance.
