GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Magic Moment has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. TAISEI VAINQUEUR (6) stepped up to the mile for the first time last start at this track and after looking a winning chance halfway down the straight he found one better. Rates strongly and can atone. MAGIC MOMENT (2) returns from a layoff of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. ANALECTA (10) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at Urawa at the previous outing. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to bounce back. MIDNIGHT HAWK (7) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at this track over 1600m. Well placed to turn things around.
