GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo primarily from Makuraga Reine and A Shin Chimaira. YAMANO TANKI (1) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Strong winning chance in a field like this. A SHIN SMACK (2) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 10 lengths away in ninth over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. A SHIN CHIMAIRA (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track three weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. HIIRAGI (8) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1400m at Himeji. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
