GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Not much early pace and doubt they will go hard. A SHIN STURM (7) is coming off a last-start fourth over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this journey and expecting a bold showing. MINOKOKU STARK (2) settled well back when fourth over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. WIN HARMONIA (4) returns from a spell of a year and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Urawa over 1500m when first-up last time in work. Worth plenty of thought on an each-way basis. WIN HONOKA (3) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for third. Should feature in the finish again.
