GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Pressure on from the get-go with T Up X, Paradis and Namura Swagger locking horns ahead of Via and Himeno Jackal. PARADIS (6) has switched yards since finishing 12th six weeks ago over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. She is much better placed at this level so is a winning chance for the new barn. T UP X (3) is a model of consistency with top-two finishes at his last seven starts, most recently finishing second over 1600m at this track to follow back-to-back wins. Strong claims yet again. HIMENO JACKAL (1) wound up strongly only to just miss when fresh from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Should tighten right up following that outing. Drawn to advantage so expect another forward showing. NAMURA SWAGGER (2) was good last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Can play a part again.
