GOING:

Race 9 1200m

Track:      

Yamanin Tulsi should lead at a keen tempo. TAISEI SCHALT (7) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1200m at this track at his latest appearance. Has a strong record here at this journey. Masaaki Kuwamura who has two wins when partnering stays on. Fitter and is expected to feature. UNICORN WHALE (10) gave a bold display over this course and distance when resuming last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third and beaten a long neck. Likely improver with winning claims. DOCTOR STOP (6) finished midfield at her first run back from a spell last start, beaten 6 lengths over 1200m at this track at very long odds. Sure to be competitive. ELLIOTT GAME (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.4 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
