GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Cosmo Finesse probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. TECHNIKOS (5) returns from a break of ten weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected fresh. INNAMORATO (7) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by half a length over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Katsuto Maruno who has two wins when partnering stays on. Key runner. KINASSEI (4) was below her best last time when tenth over 1500m at Nagoya. Look for an improved run. KYOEI WIND (8) failed to make an impression last time out, settling well back and finishing tenth over 1500m at Nagoya. Has claims on best form.
