GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Sprit to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. SPRIT (7) was well fancied last start over 1400m but disappointed. Commendable record at this trip with a win and four minor placings and should be in the finish. WHISTLE SONG (1) dropped out from the rails draw before closing late to finish fifth at this track last start. Should be doing best work late. WAIMANGU (9) finished fifth last start over 1600m at this track, an improvement on his ninth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SILENZIO (10) last appeared when he finished fifth at Kanazawa on July 20. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Koji Sakurada. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
