GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace from Noborifuji and Castagnaccio matching motors with Versailles Rose close at hand. GRENOBLE (6) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Shaping up nicely and he is a key runner. YUINO SASHIGANE (8) is a five-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. This looks a nice assignment and gets his chance. YELLOW GARDEN (7) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by one length over 800m here last time. Among the main hopes. OKANO TIARA (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Another forward showing looks likely.
