GOING:

Race 9 1900m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure with Yurari Yurameite, Tosano Maihime and Rikea Macchiato leading the charge. JUGEMOON (9) made it four wins in a row last time out when he scored by 3 lengths over 1900m at this track. Winning rider Shuji Akaoka retains the mount. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. THE CENTURY (2) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on July 12 over 1300m when he got home by a head. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. LAYER (4) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finishing fifth over 1400m at Sonoda. Was outdashed but got going late and looks suited by the extra ground. Rates highly on best figures. YURARI YURAMEITE (5) had been racing well before he was safely held last time out when sixth over 1300m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Deserves respect on best figures.
