GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace with Lord Lightning taking up the running ahead of Hiiragi and Kokusempu. LORD LIGHTNING (3) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Certainly deserves another chance. KOKUSEMPU (5) was popular with punters last time out but could only manage fifth over 1400m at this track. Finds the right race and can get off the mark this time. HIIRAGI (6) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to go a couple better. A SHIN PENELOPE (2) missed the placings last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
