Race 9 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo headed by Kurino Champ. KURINO CHAMP (10) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth at this course and distance. Runner-up in his other two runs of the campaign. Should be at peak fitness now. Ticks all the right boxes. HIGH RESILIENCE (9) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TAGANO HASU BINAH (5) returns from a spell. Finished second at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep four-and-a-half months ago. Has five wins from nine starts at this circuit. Sure to be competitive. FLEUR NEIGE (2) will be fitter second up and draws well. Not to be discounted.
