GOING:

Race 8 2000m

Track:      

Certain to be a strong tempo with Meisho Ichimon, Satono Sphere and Cerezo Reina leading the charge. CEREZO REINA (3) got home by 4 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Boasts four wins here. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best figures should see her run well. MEISHO ICHIMON (2) returns from a break of five months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1500m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. BOW APPEARS (8) finished second last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. ASHOKA (1) last raced on June 5 when seventh at this track over 1700m after he was well back on straightening. Well placed and can run a better race.
