GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Kyoshintankai to take up the running at a moderate tempo. LORD MIDNIGHT (7) was well held in stiffer grade two runs back then last time over 1400m at this track led throughout to score by one length. Can continue the winning form. MEINER LUCK (2) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1600m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at this track the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KYOSHINTANKAI (4) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. COCCINELLE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths into seventh. Worth noting Kensuke Hayashi goes aboard. Finds a nice race and can atone.
