GOING:

Race 8 1200m

Track:      

Filer Temps and Chocolat Bread can be prominent. PRESTO EMPEROR (4) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 1200m at this track five months ago. Is yet to beaten first up from two starts. Has never missed the frame here at this journey in six starts, including two wins. Will be hard to stop. CHOCOLAT BREAD (3) did well when resuming over 1200m at this track last start, finishing second and beaten 3 lengths. Has never missed the frame when second-up from three starts and has plenty of upside with the run under her belt. Ready to find best form. NAMURA PERLE (12) finished third last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. ECORO CADIZ (10) returned from a spell five-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into 12th over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Fitter so can feature in the finish.
