GOING: G

Race 9 900m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine pace headed by Slechtvalk from her wide gate. PIONIERE (7) lifted strongly to score last time with half a length to spare over 1400m at this track, making it four in succession. Has a solid record at this circuit. Right in this. IVY HIMECHAN (12) met with solid support last start over 900m at this track when fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Tricky draw but worth another chance. SLECHTVALK (11) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 900m at this track. Can cross and take up a prominent position. Change of rider to Naoki Machida who has never been out of the money in five rides, including a win. Capable of running a bold race. GENESIS MIZAR (5) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 30 when beaten 6 lengths into eighth at Funabashi over 1000m after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the ability to produce a better result.
