GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Go Max to take up the running with Cinderella Smile and Musashi Fujin close at hand. CINDERELLA SMILE (5) met with solid support last start over 1600m at this track when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Can bounce back over this journey. DAMIER (10) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when 11th over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Cherry-ripe now and is expected to do much better. GO MAX (11) comes here off a break of four months. Scored over 1300m at this track to launch the last campaign. Worth plenty of thought. LUX CHERRY (9) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 13 lengths into sixth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
