GOING:

Race 9 1300m

Track:      

Expecting Shishino Heart to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. RYUNOSU (6) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 9 lengths at this track. Boasts four wins here. Rates highly and should go well. SAHARA VAINQUEUR (4) settled well back and turned in a mediocre run last time out over 1300m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Has the talent to find the winners' list. KURINO ORION (7) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1300m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated. SHISHINO HEART (1) went forward over 1600m at this track last time but found a couple better. Drawn to enjoy a nice run on the speed. Must be respected.
