GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Lambeau Leap and You're My Dream up front. YOU'RE MY DREAM (8) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Sonoda four-and-a-half months ago. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Will give a great sight. BIJIN HAKUMEI (7) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track after she was in contention on the bend. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. KUTSUWANO SEKITORI (1) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. MOISTURE (3) showed good speed here last time over 1400m until tiring late. Not hopeless
