GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Mild Ignis. MEME NISHIKORI (2) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MILD IGNIS (7) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when eighth. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. WONDER BLESS (3) finished ninth last time out over 1400m at this track. Improvement to come and looks one of the key chances. EXPLORER VEST (4) last appeared when she finished fifth over 1400m at Himeji on January 16. Worth plenty of thought.
