GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Luna Cacao leading the way. G T SHIP (3) is a five-start maiden who finished eighth at his most recent appearance over 1600m at Hanshin. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. MUSCAT OMAN (1) led throughout last start to score an effortless 8 lengths win over 800m at this track. One of the top chances again. IN THE LIMELIGHT (6) returned from a spell six-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 4.5 lengths into ninth over 1400m at Chukyo. Won't find this as tough so she can make amends. YUINO SASHIGANE (5) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1580m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.
