GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Little early speed means Lio Makani and Kunino Dia will find themselves in leading roles. PASHMINA (7) has switched yards since finishing second five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1500m at Kanazawa. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. KUNINO DIA (6) missed the placings last start when ninth over 1600m at this track. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. INITIAL T (2) drifted well back from the inside draw last time before winding up strongly and finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and can improve enough to win this. SANONO BLADER (5) finished 12th last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Great chance to bounce back.
