GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Love Silica leading Earth Fang. LOVE SILICA (10) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Recorded back to back wins with a neck success over 1400m at this track last time. Races well here and rates a top chance again. SEA OF STARS (11) met with solid support last start over 1200m at Funabashi when fourth, beaten 8 lengths. Extra trip is important. Worth another chance. EARTH FANG (3) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to take this out. ESPLENDOR (9) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 5 lengths away in second at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role.
