GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Happy Meek taking charge. SHINKO MACHAN (3) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only eighth over 1700m at this track. Soichi Kato stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Should be in the finish. HAPPY MEEK (10) finished fifth over 1500m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Strong record with Makoto Okabe aboard, including six wins. Well placed and can bounce back. NEUNG CAPUT (2) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1500m here. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. KINIRONO TSUBASA (5) form since resuming has been disappointing, last start finishing eighth over 1700m at this track. Can make amends here.
