GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Small field but expecting a genuine tempo with plenty of pace engaged. A SHIN DAZZLE (4) finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in third last start at this track over this distance. Is yet to miss the frame from 11 starts at this trip, including seven wins. Ren Hasegawa who has nine wins when partnering stays on and is sure to run well. KOMA ZERO ONE (7) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1400m here last time. Sure to prove tough to stop. M T PEACE (3) scored over this course and distance last time after racing on the speed then lifting to score by 0.8 lengths. Manato Hida who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Has winning claims on best figures. AMALFI (5) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at this venue, finishing a neck from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Toru Takeyoshi who has scored on him seven times retains the mount. Don't underestimate.
