GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track: AW     True  

Solid tempo with Dream Fighter, Original Pattern and Sei Sorabol going hard, closely attended by Gold Line. DREAM FIGHTER (8) resumes after a break of eight months. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 800m at this track to kick off last prep. Leading contender. FEITIAN (9) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being in the firing line on the turn to score by 2 lengths over 1500m at Kawasaki. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. PICARESQUE HERO (1) is a nine-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 1500m at Kawasaki. Worth including in this suitable contest. GOLD LINE (5) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another strong performance.
