GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Little early pressure with Amine, Bright Ocean and Yuyu Gluck prominent. BRIGHT OCEAN (7) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SEA OF CLOUDS (3) lines up on the back of a 3.5 lengths fourth over 1500m at Kawasaki. Among the top chances. NARITA AMBITION (8) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling out the back and failing to feature when seventh over 1400m at this track. Steps up a level but she is worth another chance. AMINE (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 26 when beaten 6 lengths into fifth at Funabashi over 1200m. Going up a level this time but she has the ability to mix it with them.
