GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Little early pressure with Reign Supreme, Cosmo Navigator and A Shin Hematite prominent. STAY MAC WAR (1) improved last start to finish second over 1750m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Ready to win and expected to go close. REIGN SUPREME (3) finished seventh over 1500m at Nagoya last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Well-placed to return to winning form. COSMO NAVIGATOR (4) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at Funabashi. Now under the care of new trainer Masanori Mashima. Among the better hopes. MIYUKI PERFECT (7) last start finished eighth at this track over 1300m after he got a long way back in the run. Likely improver who should be thereabouts.
