GOING:

SAFFRON SHO 1600m

Track: STANDARD      

The pace looks strong from the outset. Terrific race with eight last start winners and one dropping significantly in class. EMBROIDERY (6) returns from the paddock. Was less than a length from the winner in second at Tokyo on debut before showing the benefit of that race experience when an impressive winner over 1800m at Niigata last start. Capable of repeating the dose. SENA MARINE (1) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1400m at Niigata seven weeks ago. Sure to improve and can make it back-to-back wins. GO SO FAR (9) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1800m at Niigata five weeks ago. Likely improver with bright prospects again. CHIGIRI (7) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last prep with a eighth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1200m at Hakodate. Big class drop here. A bold showing is expected.
