GOING: G

Race 9 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Solid tempo likely from the outset with a number of speedy beginners engaged, most notably Riko Beretta and Mononofu Red. PARTY MODE (11) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four outings. Leading player again. WIN OISE (10) showed good pace and went on to score by 3 lengths last time out over 1400m at Urawa. Has to overcome a tricky draw. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MEISHO KOJIRO (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Niihara Shuma stays aboard and he cannot be underestimated. MONONOFU RED (5) is a maiden who has filled a minor placing four times in seven starts. Failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last start, beaten 19 lengths into 11th over 1400m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Must be respected.
