GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Go All The Way leading from Winning The Soul and Sansan Taiyo. EVELYN TESORO (5) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished ninth at Fukushima Dirt over 1150m when first-up last time in work. Sure to prove tough to beat. KEIAI ANTARES (3) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 3 lengths victory over 1300m at this track three weeks ago. Can go on with it. GO ALL THE WAY (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1300m at this track. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and three minor placings from six starts. Capable of a big run. SOUND EVOKE (4) is going well with six minor placings from nine starts this campaign. Turned in another good effort last time out when second over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
