GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Mcgillis leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. KANEKOME NOBORU (3) missed the frame two back in tougher company then enjoyed the class drop last time and did much better when third over 1300m at this track. Rates on top on best figures and looks suited this line-up. Go close. MCGILLIS (5) was runner up fresh then was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Reunites with jockey Minoru Miyagawa who knows him well, including three wins while aboard. Likely to feature. RAINBOW WEATHER (2) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when she was always up in the leading division. Major player. SABLE MIRAGE (6) improved for second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Will trim down following recent racing. Has top-three claims again.
