GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Earl Of Kent to take charge ahead of Nightfall Sun at a strong tempo. EARL OF KENT (10) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1500m at this track to make it two in succession. Soichi Kato has been the pilot at his last two wins. Sure to play a big role. RAI CREATOR (5) has two minor placings from three starts this time in work, the latest as favourite over 2000m at this track. Has been thereabouts without winning and he is a leading hope. ONIJI OTANI (9) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Kasamatsu over 1400m. Can measure up again. BROAD GRIN (11) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 1500m at this track after she got a long way back in the run. Good enough on her day and can fill a top-three spot.
