GOING:

Race 8 2000m

Track:      

Kagayaki Fighter, Hakushu and Mucha Suerte to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. HAKUSHU (10) is a six-time winner who has been performing well, beaten half a length into third last time out over 2000m at this track. Races well here and is likely to run another big race. MUCHA SUERTE (4) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Funabashi, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 2200m. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is likely to play a big role. B B CHANCE (6) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2200m at Funabashi. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. KAGAYAKI FIGHTER (1) was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1600m at Funabashi two weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
