GOING:

Race 8 1300m

Track:      

Hot pace certain with Mozu Life Saver, Stella Matutina and Daichi Vivant keen to take up the running. DAICHI VIVANT (2) finished 5.5 lengths behind the winner in fifth over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Should be prominent from the outset. Draws well and may prove tough to beat. STELLA MATUTINA (3) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on April 18 over 1600m when she scored by half a length. Back in trip but winning rider Hideya Sahara retains the mount. Has the ability to take care of this field. NAMURA IRIS (9) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3.5 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track when she was in the firing line all the way. Anticipating another big run. MOZU LIFE SAVER (5) has not appeared since he finished sixth over 1400m at this track on December 14. Keep safe.
