GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Leidenschaft to take charge ahead of Thunder Flare at a solid tempo. THUNDER FLARE (2) made it four victories in succession last start when she scored in style over 1700m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Winning rider Aoi Kinomae retains the mount. Has the class to take this out. LEIDENSCHAFT (3) has four wins and two minor placings from seven races this preparation. Scored last start by half a length at this track over 1500m after being racing in the leading division. Genuine type with winning claims. A SHIN PANTA RHEI (5) is a 22-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. PERSONA (11) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1700m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
