GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Hagino Inspire leading from Aurora Lumiere and G T Eight. G T EIGHT (10) is in a purple patch of form with his third straight win coming last time out over 1400m at this track. Had plenty on his rivals last time and will go well again. EIYU MAX (7) scored at this track last time out with a neck in reserve at the end of 1400m. Boasts six wins here. Leading player again. HAGINO INSPIRE (4) ran well below her best last time over 1400m at this track, finishing sixth starting at $2.70. Form here at this trip reads six wins from 10 starts. Should be involved in the finish. QUICK QUEEN (1) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at this track, finishing a head from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. S Kawahara who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Solid top three claims.
